bm - 1-4 oz, try the lami gsb1201m. if not that, the 1322 is better for that lure range then the 1321. the 1321 tops out comfortably around 3 in my opinion. or else, go glass! sb1213m, you sissy!

as for batson's, i've built on them. they are similar to all stars, which i prefer. any rod can break if not built correctly or casted above its limitations. i think some manufacturers do not correctly weight the lure range of their rods. your rod builder should give you their opinions on a built rod as far as its limitations. although the 1084 is rated for 1-4, i would never recommend anything over 3 on it. i also am aware that some of the early fractures were due to defects in that run.
