Yes, I would think so, but I've never tried it. That is what they do with the 1201L for this "montauk eel rod". Should work about the same with the 1201m, but give you a more powerful rod obviously than a 1201L (and probably more than a 1081m). You might also try to hunt down a kennedy-fisher 8720. They are very slow and very powerful (10ft). Perhaps they made an equivalent 9fter....someone like saltheart or mike P likely knows.
