Ok I have the GSB1321M. It is a very good rod indeed. I throw 1oz to 3oz on it. I have never tried casting 4oz but am confident that this rod will do that ok. I use snap cast teed up layback and semi pendulum and this blank handles that fine. It has a fast parabolic action and is ideal for around the east end of LI. It will also cast 1oz Bucktails very well. When I say fast parabolic action what I mean is the rod is not tippy like Uk blanks but that the blank will recover quite quickly from full compression. It also bends properly when playing large Bass. It works well with conventionals and spinners. Cone of flight set ups are good as are the NGC. Choice is up to you. I understand that the SSU blank will probably be a tad stiffer and you may like it better if you are normally casting at the high end of your weight spec of 4.5 ozs.
There are so many GSB's out there it must be possible for you to test cast one on a beach, Buddy have one ? or a cheaky ask when out fishing one day.
One things for sure though the GSB is tried and tested and it will not let you down. If I was limited to just one surf rod for Mr and Mrs Striper this would be it.
