I am a 1205 fan, but can't speak for the GSB. I have not fished much this year, but used to spend some time down there and it can certainly handle plugs and jigs. Some say up to 5oz I have never thrown that much in a jig but have 4 just fine as well as fish in current and work a pencil just fine as well. There is a reason people have both a jig and a plug stick. It does both pretty well but not as perfect as rods specifically designed for each purpose. In the end it became my plug rod and I jig with a different rod. I have a few 1205s and my custom wrap is a lot different feel and action than the standard. I feel it cuts down on some of the vibration after the cast and handles the fish deeper into the rod.
