I don't know, I throw plugs from SP Minnows to big swimmers that weigh 4+ ounces with my L at the canal and love it. Pencils, spooks, poppers, northbars, darters....no issues. Have landed 30 pound class fish in ripping current with it...personally I love the rod. The only issue is jigging with it....can't jig the canal with her, but that is another setup altogether anyway.

Have you tried the 1321M for comparison? I think it is much better for what you are doing.

Like all GSB's the 1321L is a very versatile rod and obviously can passably do all you describe but throwing 4 oz and fighting large fish in current (where it bends to your top hand) is not its forte. Still, it is no wimp and plenty of #50 bass have been beaten by one from the surf.

I have both rods and if someone wants to try them side by side just let me know.
