One more option for you Eben. I have the GSB120L. Great rod but just didn't cut it when I wanted to throw eels... until I took one inch off the tip. Now at 9'11" it is the most versatile rod I carry - it can throw eels, darters, big needles and half ounce
5 1/2" redfins with ease. By removing just one inch it changed the rod completely, it now has more backbone for fishing boulder fields. The GSB 120M in my opinion would be a great conventional stick but forget about casting small plugs any distance with it. Just a note of caution - when removing sections of a blank do it in small increments like a 1/4 inch at a time then check the action. Remove too much tip and you'll have a boat rod in a hurry.
