Just to clarify, does this mean that the 1201L or 1203 throws the lighter stuff better? I am looking for something that will throw 1 oz swimmers well and a SS darter (close to 2.5 oz I think) well, and everything in between. I also prefer it to be a bit parobolic in its action. I have it narrowed down to the 1201L, XRA 1203 and RS SW1207 with the 2 lamis getting the nudge. Sorry for the Highjack, but I think you have a lot of the info I am looking for.

Thanks
