I need a medium power fast action spinning rod for throwing tubes and small jigs (1/8, 3/16 oz) mostly for smallmouth.  May serve as a walleye rod on the rare occassions I target the eyes.  I like what I read about the Loomis SJR782 IMX.  I'll probably be looking to buy used or make a trade in the $150 range.  Any ideas or suggestions out there?

Good choice in rods. Although, you could buy a new Avid for a few bucks more... also a good rod. Not an IMX, but very good none-the-less.
