What makes a canal rod? Able to lift 6 ozs. off the bottom of 60' of water in rip roaring current 1000 times a night.:eek5: afterhours 03-18-2007, 08:47 AM cajones- allstar 1209 has 'em. MAC 03-18-2007, 08:54 AM Allstar 1266 Mac? I had 2 of them and they were too light for me. If you want to jig I would go with a 1209 AllStar, Lami 126MH or in glass a Lami 121 3M or a 136 4M cut back to 10'. If you want to plug, the best plugging stick is a 1322 Arra IMHO Mike P 03-18-2007, 10:53 AM Allstar 1266 Mac? Good for metal. Decent for plugs. Not so great for jigs. But you can get by with it. I'd say 4 oz is about as much as it can handle comfortably. Saltheart 03-18-2007, 02:47 PM If you got to go 2 piece , the 1266 is a good choice. I like the Arra 1205 for the canal. I currently fisdh a century tip tornado I made for the canal. Casts like crazy. Maybe a little to heavy for most of the fish but good on a big one. All around the Ara 1205 is more fishable. gone fishin 03-18-2007, 05:17 PM A telephone pole and humongus arm and back muscules.....:jump: 5/0 03-18-2007, 05:36 PM What makes a great canal rod? A great canal fishermen:pop: 5/0 zimmy 03-19-2007, 09:39 AM 1209 has the backbone, but you won't feel a small fish much. I don't really care about that personally. My arra 1205 is spinning and I much prefer conventional with more than 4 ozs and braid. However, I bet the 1205 as a conventional would be about perfect.
