Hey,
Personally, I don't think you really need a "specific" rod for any of those lures. I bring out two poles MAX per trip and neither are lure-specific. Thus, a regular pole of standard pricing ($30-$150) would more than accomodate your needs. If you're really into Loomis gear than by all means (they're a nice rod) pick one up.
Anyways... to answer your main question no, I don't bring different rods for different lures when bass fishing with a spinner or closed face, just a couple of different actions. As far as actions go, start with a medium (trout will be O.K. as long as the test and pole weights match your target game).
Good luck and definitely let us know what you decide to do!
