I absolutely LOVE my GLB-1081mh for plugging and riggies. This is the rod that usually gets the nod on any given night for me.

BUT, in my honest opinion it is a terrible live eel stick. It casts them pretty poorly, and I've dealt with loosing quite a few eels to "cast offs". If the rod needs to double duty as a plug and live eel rod, go in a different direction. If you're married to the idea of a 9', a GSB-1201L or even an M cut from the ass makes a great eel/plug combo rod.
