Mike, since it seems we're both fans of the same rod and it's a res judicata, what blank would you recommend to base a replacement on for the old school Lami S-glass eeling rod I broke season before last?

My old favorite was a 132 3M cut down to 10'6" - I spent some time on the Google last night and reread a few of your archived posts - including an oldie from WMI in 2000 - on S glass blanks

Bottom line is, would you recommend a 132 3M cut back or just go with a 121 3M as is?

I did pick up a pre-owned 108 3M in beautiful shape yesterday wrapped by CMS ...

...and while I'm looking forward to using it, it made me want to have another 10 to 10'6" eeling rod wrapped for this year while I'm still young enough (barely) to enjoy it

I found an old school 11' S glass in great shape last year but it's just overkill for the spots I fish most often

What do you think?
