Actually It turns out, I have a 1208. See I told you I was confused
so as I held the breakaway 1209 I just couldnt understand what was going on..
Saltheart, I'm not looking to buy a new rod at this point in time, A friend of mine has the breakaway- But, with the 1208, I plan on throwing wood with it off the RI coast.. mostly rocky areas... No plugs over 4 oz....
