krispy, i was never too fond of the old XRA1204/new XRA1203 blank as it felt too soft for most applications, but that softness could be taken advantage in just what you want to do with it, make it a rod for throwing eels. of course i am sure you know, that the second you cut a lamiglas blank, you void the warranty. as has been mentioned already, the GSB1201L is pretty close to the 1203 in power and action, but i feel the 1201L is actually a little more powerful. both blanks cut down a little make excellent eel rods, but truely feel each lack that power you really are looking for. the gsb1201m is king for throwing eels and having the power to turn fish.
