I gotta agree with Mike - I do like my Lami 120 1L for eeling - but I think I may have stumbled on a real beauty. I found an old 10'6" fiberglass rod in an antique shop in almost like new condition for $27.

Don't know what the blank is, it's sort of a honey/mustard yellow - anybody got a good guess? It is a custom rod and as soon as I picked it up I knew it would be great for eels. Guides, wraps, cork all in excellent condition, whoever had it either used it very little or took damned good care of it.

Yup, match that up with my chromed 704 'American Chopper' converted Penn and I could have a helluva combo going.

Time will tell
