It was an extremely popular all around rod. It can be used for plugs and eels and you can also stick a piece of cut bait or clams on there and toss it out with a 4 OZ sinker. Trouble is it weighs about a pound.
For eeling , a really nice rod is the AllStar 1265/2. The arra 1204 and 1205 are also excellent but more money. The AllStar 1265/2 weighs about 5.5 OZ. Big difference if you are casting all night. I think you'll find the old Lami Fiberglass rod are used a lot by people ch#^^^^^&g bait now. They don't have to cast evry minute.
The SB136-3M would be good for bigger pencil poppers though cause its whippy.
