I just finished a 120-1L. I messed around with it for a couple days and chopped about 6" from the tip. Now it feels right. I am going to use it to fish eels in the ditch and think without the wimpy tip it will be able to handle 4-4.5oz jigs nicely as well.

I have a 120-1M that didn't make the cut for this trip (leave MO for 3 weeks at the ditch tonight). It's fully wrapped but I'm going to re-do it. It feels pretty good as well.

My favorite all round rod for 3-5 (not pencils though) is a Sabre 1208 cut back to 9.5 from the tip. I hope the 120-1L is it's replacement.

For what it's worth I think Mike Thomas from M&D's and his crew use the 1L to fish plugs at the ditch. I talked to him a bit before building mine.

Use NCP white wraps with any combo of colors, it really looks sweet! I'll post some pics when I get back to ma.
