iron mike caught his 60 on a old arra 1204/now 1203 custom. not the 1205.
the 1205 is a great pure plugging or jigging rod. some of my customers absolutely love this rod, but only for plugging. they will eel if they have too, but as some have mentioned it's not the best application for this rod. however, some find it works for them. i dont normally suggest it if eels will be throw often.
a better and more versatile rod is the gsb1201m. it handles the same range, but throw eels much better.
as mike mentioned, the new lami ssu-series is also a consideration. this series was built for braided lines. they are a composite blend of materials. not to be confused w/ the lami tri-flex series, which were glass tipped. the 1m or 1mh is ideal in this series.
