Also what is the difference in the L vs the M??

What price range is the 1201 in and where can I get one quickly?

I have a Arra 1204 but it is in conventional and I want spinning.

Thanks for the help.
It's overrated. You can cast less than 1 oz without a sweat and it tops out around 3, maybe 3-1/2.

The M is a little stiffer, has more beef in the butt section, and casts up to 4-1/2 or 5 oz. Being parabolic, as a spinning rod, you can also lob light stuff.

The "old" Arra 1204 (the parabolic one rated 7/8 to 2-1/2), which is the "new" 1203, is ideal for what you want. The blank isn't all that much more expensive than the 120 1L.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
