John , the Allstar1265/2 would be the eel stick not the 1266/2. Its comparable to an XRA 1204 but longer and faster action. Its one of the nicest rods out there.
The 1266/2 is pretty heavy duty for eels. People use it to throw jigs at the ditch. You can kill 4 OZ with the 1266 but an eel would barely load it IMO.
The 1266/2 that I use eeling is the Loomis , not the Allstar. the Allstar 1266 is heavier than the loomis 1266. You can start to load the Loomis with 1 oz but need two to start to load the Allstar. The Allstar is rated to 5 OZ (2-5) but the Loomis is rated to only 4 (1-4). If you want to wiggle an Allstar 1265 and 1266 and the Lami 1204 side by side before you buy , let me know. I have all those blanks in stock. I can bring them over when we meet with Mr Sauza.
