The XRA 1205 will not cast 1 oz well. It barely does 2 OK. It is great for 3 and 4 and will do 5 marginally. Its probably my favorite rod at this point. I built it conventional and fish it with a BG 7000cl. Great canal rod IMO. Casts what I need an no problemo so far with fish up to 35 pounds in current. I think I could do without almost all my other rods if I have a 1205. Maybe need a very light spinner for 1 OZ and under but the 1205 is versatile enough for most everything else.
For 1 to 3.5 oz , I think you need to go to a Lami 120 1 L. That is if you really want 1OZ. There are good rods for 1 to 3 in 9 footers. Lami also makes a composite rod at 9 feet 6 inces which I think might work. its a CSB Maybe CSB 114? I built one for Eugene , forget his screem name now but he fished it a lot and said he liked it.
Someone mentioned an SU 1208. I don't like that at 1 oz either but at 2 to 4 its a great rod.
There are so many choices.
Anyway , the GSB 120 1 L is way more versatile than people give it credit for and will do the low 1 oZ stuff and I think would be fine at 3.5 OZ too.
