The 1205 is a fine jigging rod for up to 4-5 oz. I bought a convetional 1205 from Bob Samuelson 5 years ago, and it's been my main jigging rod since, for the occasions/locations when I still jig with a convetional. For my money, it's a better rod for 3-4 oz jigs than the 126 1MH. It's easier to lift/work a jig with a faster-taper rod, and the 126 is very parabolic.
Thanks. I'll have to check the color when I get home. Thought it was black.
