If you want to toss eels , you would be better off with the Breakaway 1208. The 1209 is too stiff in my opinion for casting eels. However . to get a 1208 in a conventional rod , you'll have to get one made up since the factory Breakaway made on the AllStar 1208 is a spinner. Mike T at www.capecodtackle.com can make you the 1208 in a conventional and he's very reasonable on the price and does a great job. A good option if you want a factory Breakaway would be the LDFC106/2. Its a two piece rod that will throw an eel and will handle the big jigs too.
I don't throw eels on my Loomis 108-30. Too much of a club. Its a heavy jigging rod. However I did throw eels with my Sabre 1089 but some people can't with that one either complaining its too stiff. Depends on the eels I guess.
Anyway , I would think your best bet would be the AllStar 1208 blank made up as a conventional.
