This is clearly a terrific rod for most people, but for me, I just couldn't get the feel of it. I have several 126MH's and a 1321 cut down to 10'(1204) that I think are terrific. I also love the GSB 1321M. I picked up a 1205 ast year after hearing all the accolades and sold it a month later. Too stiff and fast for me. I found my timing on my casts had to be perfect and I couldn't realy lean into a cast or the plug(stick shads) would tumble. The 126 was much easier to cast, for me. Anyone else have the same experience or am I a lone idiot?
