I have 3--the 1322 and 126 1MH in conventional, and the 1204 in spinning. Another 1322 in spinning is on my wish list

They are great rods, that balance casting and fish-fighting qualities. They load easy but still take a nice parabolic bend under a load--at least the 3 models I have do. Not cheap, but they are top quality, as Lamiglas resolved a bad production run that resulted in breakage of certain 1322 and 1204 blanks.'

As others said, the 1322 is a medium-to-heavy plug/light jig rod rated for 1-5 oz with 2-3 being optimum. The 126 1MH is a heavy plug/Canal jig/medium weight and bait rod, and probably my favorite rod of the entire line---certainly the one I'd want in my hands with a 50 on the other end. And the 1204 is a sweet, all around light-to-medium plug/light jig rod, rated 3/4 to 2-1/2 oz but easily capable of throwing 3, with 1-1/2 to 2 oz being optimum.
