I have a 1213M that is wrapped spinning. I like it a lot. I wrapped it stock length and I used Fuji Alconite BMNAG guides with a Fuji Silicon Nitride BHNNT top. I also used shrink tube as a solid grip and I tape a Fuji plate style reel seat on with friction tape.
I really like the rod, a little heavy but for fish in an around structure and current it works quite well. I use it mostly for jigs and big plugs. I like the slower action especially with braided line.

Eben,
I wrapped one spinning and am loving it for slinging eels, I also like the fact that it's fiberglass so I'm not to worried about it shattering on the rocks.
I've landed several 30# fish on it this season and it performed nicely.
