I've fished eels with the 1088 Allstar. Like casting with a broomstick. Much better for big plugs.
I'd rather error on the heavy side as I would mostly be fishing around structure or heavy current. Do you guys think the 1205 demands a bigger reel than the 400TE? I'd be fishing braid so I'm not as concerned with capacity...
To be honest I'd probably be happy with any of them
thanks for all the comments,
