EEl rods remember all wrapped convench.. .

Lami glass blank.. think it was a bt not sure chucks HUGE eels thumper knows this rod..

I have a bsb 121 3m that was cut to 9'6" built by Ray Boucher from hope valley.. Great rod.. I also have the ssu 1321mh the 11 footer.. Cant lay into eels with out leaving them behind..

Personaly Ill sat this a softer blank aka slower action always better for eels.. I have a 1201l GSB and chucks eels nice I know Thumpers 1201m also does.. I say try to stay away from fast action blanks for eels my personal expierence they just rip hooks.. Fast actions are great for plugs cause you can lay into them no hook to rip out..

Personally john you wanna fish eels come to the dark side.. A 1021l or m and an abu 7k series with the slow speed is like eel perfection..
