I was playing around with this model today, and yes, as odd as it seems, the rating is printed as 1/2 oz to 1.5 oz. Now, the Lucky Craft Pointer 128 is a chunk of a jerk bait at 1 oz. I don't throw that bait very often, but based on what I do use for that bait, I could actually see this rod being able to handle it. Again, I haven't fished it yet, but it certainly does have a lot of power and a pretty deep flex into the blank. It wouldn't be my first choice for a Vision 110, but I bet it will handle a Vision 110+2 very nicely.
