Is this a canal rod, or surf or both?

Seems to have the same specs as the GSB1201M which to me is a good all around rod.

I am looking at the MOJO for surf mostly

i fish mostly around 2 oz, correct me if i am wrong but isnt the sweet spot on the M 3 to 3.5 oz? the StCriox is a 2-6, that is why i was considering it, what is the good price for the Lami?

I am not sure how much a new one goes for I picked both of mine up used, for $200 I think CMS has a good supply of them for around $325
but you should call first

I cast from 1oz to 3.5 oz with no problems Lami's ratings are way off

I was in CMS yesterday. They didn't have any 120 1Ms already wrapped on the racks, but they probably have the blanks on hand to build one. But you're talking about a 2-3 week wait, in all likelihood.

I would spend a little more and get either the 10' 6" Premier or the 10' 6" Mojo. Both are built on better blanks than the Triumph. They both run about $240.

The problem is finding the Mojo. They sell like hotcakes when shops get them in. You might find one at the SWE. That's where I bought mine last May.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I called CMS the other day and they were looking at more like 4-5 weeks...The Lami L is rated 2-6...might be more along the lines of what you're looking for.
