the gsb1201m is probably one of the most versatile blanks i build on. i've built it as a spinner and caster. you can plug and eel with it and it handles a wide range of lure weight, with 1-4 being the optimum, 1.4-3.5 about perfect.
however, if you are going to be consistantly throwing up to 5 ounces with it, you may want to look at the sb1213m, xra1261mh, rainshadow sw1209 or su1209/1208. you'll want a rod that can handle the high end better than just lobbing it at the high end.
