goforchrome- I have a 1263 Loomis and it is rated 6-12.. you sure you read that right? Just curious..

BERKLEY- the 1263 is a nice rod but you will need to put but weights on it for sure to balance it out.Its a little light for big kings but will handle silvers and chum ok but you will have to play em out.I usually use my 1263 for float fishin..
I have couple 1143 GL3's and they are my favorite for sure.They are sensitive yet have back bone..Great rod and will land big fish...
