you have to decide what length you really want, 10' or 11'. you have several options in each length. for the lure range you are looking for, 2 - 2.5 oz, the gsb1201L would be perfect. i have one i've used for years for that exact purpose and that's almost why i still own it. i've throw pencils from 1.5 oz to 3.25 oz with it, but from 2 3/4 up is starting to push the limits of the blank. if you plan on throwing 2.5 - 3.5 ounce pencils, go with the gsb1201M. i would not suggest the 1205 for pencils as it is too fast in action. however, it can be used effectively for spook-type lures.

for 11' models the gsb1321L and xra1321 are great up to the same lure range 2.5 ounce. if you are throwing 2.5 - 3 ounce pencils, go with the xra1322 or gsb1321M.

if you really want a 9' model, which may be more difficult to work a pencil effectively, you could use the gsb1081m.
