the gsb1201L is a slightly slower action rod compared to the gsb1201m. it almost has the feel of a glass rod, but lighter as it is graphite.

Im guessing your talking about the MB1083M when you say it can only cast up to 1.5oz.
The GSB1081L I would classify as a fast action blank. Since I like to use a light drag setting It cuts off at the top 1/3. I would classify the MB1083M as a moderate action rod.
GSB1081L Is too stiff for lures under 2 oz IMO.
MB1083M Is perfect for most lures around 2 oz & less IMO.
Then again you could use either rod for lures up to 2.5 oz no problem. Its a matter of personal preference. You need to hold the blank to know what you want then factor in that it will stiffen up slightly with epoxy/guides/& type of wraps/length you use for your guides.
Both are about the same weight. even though one is glass. No single rod does it all. & asking that one rod works all lures in 1-3 oz range equally well & works well when you hook up is asking alot of a single rod.
