Thanks for your input Dano. The guys at the shop which I'm not sure I can name these days since they aren't listed as a sponsor are great and loaded both rods for me. I put 12oz and 16oz on each. The M is rated at 2-10oz while the MH is 3-12oz. These are spriral wrapped so line touching isn't an issue and JW knows what they are doing with the production of these.

Biggest concern was the heavier sinkers got that M bend about 1/3 down the blank while the MH handles the heavier sinkers with no issues.
