The 1205 with the abu 7000 is a nice comfortable rig for the canal. It is very easy to get good distance on a cast and is very good for landing fish. If you want to maximize casting distance , there are better choices but the heavier , longer rods will tire you quickly if you are not very fit. You will get used to the longer , stifer rods in time.
If you want to go for broke in distance , I thing a Century Tip Tornado light with a big VS or Daiwa spinner will outcast anything out there that will work the 4 to 6 OZ jig range.
Think about whether you want to work as hard as you will need to if you go for one of these monster casting rods.
