Those weights sound fine for that blank. I only have one conv. rod and that is the one. I chose it after John wrote that it is the most versitle blank they have 1 - 5 1/2 oz. and I am comfortable with 10" rods. If I ever get another conv. it will be the All star 1209 because I jig the ditch alot. I think the few , if any, times you ever fish the ditch Patrick the 1205 will suit you fine. Sure other blanks will toss plugs better and others will toss eels better and others will toss jigs better, but not much better. That rod sends a 4 1/2 oz megabait jig halfway across the canal with ease.
So post a picture of it when you're done.
