X2 for the GSB1321M being even better with light guides. I've built a few with titanium guides; the latest has a #25 stripper and #6 single-foot running guides. I use 14 lb. original Fireline and a VS275 on this rig and get good distance; over 150 yards on the grass (measured field, 3 oz. sinker and off-the-ground cast). Love the 1321M.
One conclusion I came to in rod building: It's very personal and subjective. What works for one person might not work for another. Not sure I believe in "rules" anymore, just what meets my needs and wants. Example: I use a VS150 on an 11.5' Rainshadow. Some would (and do) gasp.
