I've built both over the years. Personally the specs on both weight, diameters are the same. I don't know how the graphite can be rolled to be a different action and maintain the same weight and diameter? I used both blanks. Stiffer tip action and a strong mid section. I eeled with this rod GLB108MH for years. Supposedly the blank is sold as a live bait blank. I though also because it's classified as a live bait blank. The weight limit increase was because of the style of casting a bait(lob) compared to a lure (load& snap)hence the 1/2oz less weight limit of the GSB.I have a GLB108M & GSB1081L blank. I stressed the bothand they look the same? Who knows. Maybe someone has the skinny on this confusion!!
