If you are really interested in fishing slug-gos and plan on doing a good deal of it what you really want to get is a 9'. You will be working harder and tire more quickly to acheive the action you really want with a 10'. That extra foot means more rod out in front of you when you pumping and twitching the rod. I've got the 1201L and 1201M, love them both and have fished slug-gos and other rubba with them but recently got a 1081MH mainly to fish slug-gos and other rubba. I would suggest an 9' M to MH for action and if you go with the 1201L take maybe an inch or so from the tip and at least a good 6" from the butt.
