We need to know the intended application. What weight range lures is most important since the 120 1L is about a 1/2 to 3 rod while the XRA is about a 2 to 5 OZ rod . Big difference. If you are tossing 2 you want the GSB if you are tossing 3 you want the 1205 if you are tossing 4 and 5 you need the 1205.

So what do you plan to do with this rod?
at this point i think its going to be the GSB1201M. i did a lot of research on the arra's and all i keep reading is problems people have breaking them. one of my favorite spots is a good mile and a half walk if not more and for a rod to break out there would just ruin an outing. i fish the jetties down here, lots of boulder fields and open beach. i mainly throw plugs in the 2 to 3.5 range and sling eels. i do throw the bombers and mag darters but where i fish those i am really only concerned about getting them out 30 to 40 yards. from everything i have read about the gsb people love it and for my first custom i think it should be a good choice. the low riders are also out for this particular rod.
