I have 2 BW and love them.I have not had anything 1\8 oz on them.I have used 3,4,5 mm tungsten and small spoons like bigstorm and it’s fine for that.I on the other hand and i maybe wrong think 1\8 might be a little heavy.
I think the Fusion would be the better rod.I also have that one and it’s great for that size bait.
