Surprised to say it topped out at 3.5, I've thrown 4.5 on it all the time at the canal.

It lacks feel on redfins that for sure. But they are below it's weight range, the 1267 has a better feel for the lighter stuff.

I'm not sure how it would throw eels, think it might be too fast action, but I was throwing big 5oz eels on the 1327 so should be alright. Will have to try it.

If I'm throwing eels I'm using the stealth, such a great eeling rod.
