GSB 132-1M equivalent .......

[numbskull]

The 1321M blank is pretty light to start with. Wrap it with a modern guide layout (titanium if possible) and I think you would be very, very happy.

There are other blanks that will cast further, but when it comes down to fishing the rod it is personal preference and if you like the 1321M's action there is no reason you can't build one that is a match for anything else out there. It remains a very good blank choice.

You are welcome to try the one I have.

If you like the balls and action the GSB 132 M has, then get another one, wrap it up NGC and be prepared to be amazed.

The NGC gives the rod more sensitivity and keeps the weight down.

I had one wrapped NGC this spring and have been using it all season. I beat the hell out of it this year (fallen on jetties, been crushed under the light at M, climbed up onto huge rocks and smacked the rod on them) and it takes it all and then some.

People get worried about the increased number of guides on an NGC layout, but i say BS. Use it and abuse it.
