Based on what you want to throw the 1201M is what you want. Lami's are over rated on the lure weight and I would bring it down a good ounce to two. I have the 1201L and I'm very pleased with the rod and feel comfortable throwing 3 and wouldn't be afraid to throw a little under 4 oz. I've put a good bow in it on some large fish in fairly rough conditions at places like BT, the Avenues, SP and PJ and it handled it well. Haven't been bent into a U or anything like that and hopefully won't. It can throw under an ounce but maybe not with the efficiency you'd expect. I've held the 1201M and 1205 but went with the 1201L because I felt it was the most versatile. However I feel the 1201M is next on my list too.
