The 1201L or the 1081M are fast action rods without the whippyness you need IMO for those lighter lures. I have held both including the 1081L, but they all were too stiff for my liking.

You want an MB1083M or the S glass version if you can find it. Its a 9' rod with great action. Has a great looking bend to it & has the whippyness in the tip. About the same weight as a 1201L but made of fiberglass. (DURABLE), & 1/2 the price.
