How about your 1204 for the Bombers? Same rod missing a foot from the butt as the 1321. Same tip size, same taper.
I have a Sabre 1087 and the 1204. I have some Daiwa reel with 14# Fireline on the 9', and the VS 200 and 20# FL on the 10'. Bombers seems to go about the same on each  |

No clue dave. I wouldn't do it. I'd rather cut a 1322 from the ass end for a 10' that could throw more weight than a 1204 and wasn't as stiff as a 1205.
I have one of the first 1322s too. Mike cc did a hell of a job spinning it. Original wraps are still nice and tight, color's still good. If I could get another 1322 blank for short money I might try cuting it and see how it worked.

I always thought the 1204 and 1321 were too delicate. On the other hand , I think the 1205 and 1322 are great rods. If you already have a 1204 , I wouldn't spend money on a 1321.

bm - 1-4 oz, try the lami gsb1201m. if not that, the 1322 is better for that lure range then the 1321. the 1321 tops out comfortably around 3 in my opinion. or else, go glass! sb1213m, you sissy!
as for batson's, i've built on them. they are similar to all stars, which i prefer. any rod can break if not built correctly or casted above its limitations. i think some manufacturers do not correctly weight the lure range of their rods. your rod builder should give you their opinions on a built rod as far as its limitations. although the 1084 is rated for 1-4, i would never recommend anything over 3 on it. i also am aware that some of the early fractures were due to defects in that run.
