I'm a glass guy, so I can't comment on the graphite blanks. But I have both a 1213M and a 1215M. The 3M is really nice for everything I have tried, 1 1/2 ounce bucktails and tin thru big plugs, 5 ounce jigs with pork and even 6 and bait. The action is slow enough to not tear the hook out of an eel even on a hard cast. The 5M has higher capabilities, but surprisingly, does not give you more distance with a 5 ounce bank sinker. If you aren't going to throw 8 and bait, I would recommend the 3M, as it is 4 ounces lighter. If you plan on throwing more than 8, go with the 5M. The 3M has a maximum distance, If you push it harder it will just shake more and laugh at you. This makes it easy to get used to as it has a slow easy cast. I can get halfway across the Cape Cod Canal with a 4 ounce jig almost effortlessly. Go for the honey colored blank!
