what rod you fish on BI is not much different than the rod you fish w/ in SC or CC. it's what you target and what you throw that matters more. there are conditions where an 11' may be better or a 9' may be better, but 10' is about the perfect length rod for rocky shores in rhody. if you are targeting queen fish, then you want a rod that you can lean back on and lean into to throw heavy lures. i have both a 1205 and a 1201m. i have built several of each for customers and all love them for the purpose they use them for. the 1m is a little more moderate in action than the 1205, but both have similar power characteristics. as for breakage of the 1205 or arra's in general, i have yet to see one of my customs break. one such customer had some guy w/ a weird mustache drive over the rod and only a guide cracked. this customer beats his stuff up pretty hard too. what rod do i grab? a 10' sb1363m i cut down. it does everything i want. i like all stars, but they do not fit these applications in my opinion.
