It isn't an issue of weight, but it is not true that a 1327 weighs nothing compared to those other rods. Blanks: su 1208 is less than 8 ounces, a 1327 is just under 9 oz, and a 1205 is 10 ozs. All things equal, they would be practically identical when wrapped. Swinging an 11' rod on the banks of the canal is just more of a hassle and gets old in my opinion. Holding the rod and especially fighting fish on an 11'er takes more effort due to leverage. It adds up after 8 hours.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
