I'd say the 120 1M would be better from the rocks, altho a lot of Montauk eelers use a 120 1L cut down to 9'6" or even 9' even.
I think cut down 120s make a better 9' stick than any of Lami's stock 9' blanks.
My wife has the Batson 1088 and I have the All Star one. I like hers from the sand and mine from the stones
Of course, if you know anyone with some spare JK Fisher blanks hanging around, and you could get yer hands on a 9' 8708 or a 10' 8720 and a hacksaw.....
