I'm thinkin about building a rainshadow 1208 as an eelin stick, and want to be able to change over to plugs when I run out of eels. The plugs I would use would be 2-2.5 ounces. Is this rod alright for the job or is there something made by Batson or Allstar that would be better. I want the rod to be 10-11', and I'm gonna be fishing in the rocks of rhode island so it wont see any strong currents. I would put a 7000 abu on it. Any help is appreciated.
