I purchased a rod last fall. I have not used it yet, but have high hopes that it will be a good eel rod and all around rig. It's a GSB 1321L with 2" trimmed from the tip and 4" from the butt (10'6" total length). I find 11' longer than I like. My favorite rod is my Loomis 1266. I'm hoping that trimming the tip will stiffen it up the right amount for it to really do a broad range of things fairly well. Just figured I'd post what I am hoping will be another option for this purpose. I throw plugs more often than eels but I think this will work for all but the larger sizes.
