Lamiglas blank for Live Lining

What would your choice for live lining herring and bunker and the occasional bait with 5 oz? The GSB1201M or the SB seriers. Would the SU1209 (not the SW1209) be to heavy for this? Any other suggestions?

Tight lines,
Eric

SB 121 3M cut to 9' from the butt--ideal.

The 1209 would probably work too, if you want a 10' rod to live line. Personally, I prefer 8-1/2 to 9'.

i agree, 1213m stock or cut down. the 1201m could be used if it was cut down a little. if you're set on 10', cut a 1321m. cutting or using a fast action rod like the 1208/1209's could lead to throw off bait. another option is the xra1261mh stock.
