I can tell you that the 11' HJ 1327 tosses and lifts a 3 oz head and Sluggo as easily as any rod that I've ever fished. It's not "just" a plugging rod. IMO it's a very versatile Canal tool. I think it can easily handle another ounce or two. But on these off tides, 3 oz is all I need to stay down.

yeah, that rod seems very versatile.. have't tried it yet with jigs but laying into 3.5oz plugs as hard as I can didn't bother the rod at all.. Cast real nice and has landed fish up to 30lbs on a moon tide right when I first got it.. Pretty impressive for such a light rod.. The 1328/1329 may be next on my list for jigging!
