Can I ask why you want to go to spinning. Personally I think drifting eels with a spinning gear is more of a hinderance than anything and the only time I will resort to it is when I have eels to small to throw on conventional gear. But if you must GSB1201m, Arra1205, SSU1201M (what I use for smaller eels) or SSU1201MH.

the only reason I want to go spinning is it can be a pain in the a$$ when all I can get is small eels with the conventional gear.... I figure spinning would be easier.. with large eels, my other sticks work great. |

I'm going to suggest either the XRA 1205 or the SSU 120 1MH, because they have the nuts to turn a big fish.
Or you can look into a Rainshadow SU 1208 custom from CMS. IMO it has more lifting power than any of the Lami 10 footers.

That makes more sense. Since you want something for smaller eels I would go with a slower action rod that is easier to load with a smaller bait such as GSB1201M or an SSU 1201M or MH, all have the power to turn big fish in the canal. |
