rob, i built a ssu1201m for a customer last year for the purpose of throwing 2-3.5 oz tops. he loves the rod, but he felt he was throwing a lot of 4 ounce stuff from time to time and it was too much for the rod. he felt 3 was really the top end for what he did. i dont like throwing over 3-3.5 w/ mine, but when i want to throw over 2.5-3 i grab my ssu1201mh anyhow. he is buying a ssu1201mh from me this year for lures over 3 ounces. plus, fighting fish is a little easier due to more butt power. since you already have a gsb1201L, i would look into the ssu1201MH for that next class of power. why have 2 rods with almost the same purpose? i wil say that you will notice the difference in weight between a ssu blank and a gsb blank in the same class of power. but, the ssu's are not cheap. about the same as the arra's now, at least for the blanks. i hope this helps. i can bring a rod to the next csa meeting if you want to see one.
