I LOVE my loomis crankbait rod.
Glad to hear. IMO it's one of the best crankbait rods on the market. The DF version has a softer tip and is a touch smoother as it bends. You picked up the CBR843, right? If so, get an 845 and you'll be able to throw everything up to the occassional D22.

My two biggest fish came on the CBR843 - one had just one hook on the back treble barely in its lip. When I netted it, the crankbait immediately fell out. The rod handled that 7lb bass perfectly.

I wouldn't buy the DF because I'm completely satisfied with the CBR. Now, I'm sure the DF is a better rod, but I don't want to spend another $60 to find out.

I have an 843(Med/F), but I want to pick up an 845(MedHvy/F). The 845 would allow me to fish the 10'-15' divers with less strain on the rod.

I haven't seen the 845 locally, but I bet if you ask someone to order it for you, they will. I prefer to order rods through Tackle Warehouse - free shipping and no tax. Plus, they do a fine job packing the rod so it doesn't get damaged in transit.

I'm probably just gonna order mine through TW bc I have to do my annual bait stock up soon. That no tax will add up on that kind of order
