While I use an SU1208 when fishing the canal it's only from the point of being almost a neccessity. I actually don't like using the rod when using eels.

Most of my fishing is done in rocky areas and I like to use a 9' rod for eels. Most of the time I'm fishing eels in the 12-14" range. Haven't seen much need for real big eels in rocky areas without much current or depth. My go to rod is a 1088 Allstar which has shown plenty of backbone for fishing in the rocks. I also use a Pac Bay 1088 which gives a much softer cast but not quite the same backbone as the Allstar.
