Depends on where I want to fish. If I could only have 1 fishing rod it would be my zziplex sea raiderII. Not the best at all applications, like throwing 7/8 bombers or 6 oz rubber duckies but it will do both adequately.

for jigging ; 1209 all star
plugging; Lami GSB 1322
chunking ;Lami 121 3M

One rod? Impossible for me. I think my problem is figuring out which one is my favorite on a given night fishing a certain way. Here is my list of rods I frequently use:

1201M - spinner and conventional - spinner is sweet for darters, conventional is great on eels

1081MH - SWEET slug-go rod as a spinner, just getting used to it as a conventional

1321M conventional - great needlefish, jigging, or eel rod

Zziplex sea raider - still getting used to this one, but it is a very good all around conventional

For both fresh and salt (light tackle) for me it is my Shimano Magnumlite GT Fightin rods from the 80's. Still use them today. They have the reel seat buit right into the blank and a real strong backbone. Bluefish and stripers on them are an absolute ball to catch. Like any other light tackle setup, it helps to have a reel with good drag.

I just picked up a new Falcon and I really love it, but most of my fishing is off the boat.

What I think you'd wind up with is something between the old 1204 and the 1205. I think it'd be a winner, and IMO what Lami should have come out with as the new 1204.
