All the model numbers are about Allstar models here unless specified. . I think the 1208 would be a good all around rod for you. I personally would want a shorter 1089 for the breachways and maybe a longer rod like the 1267 for the other areas you mentioned but for one rod to do the whole area a 1208 will work.

I guess DZ has the right idea. If you want a lami 120 1M , get a Lami 120 1 M!! You'll have the rod for years so why fart around.

I think you'll get better distance with the 1208 for plugs and jigs etc and I know I would not have problems with eels casting off on that rod if conventional. I fish a Loomis 1266 which as mentioned is faster action and don't cast off eels. I think people sometimes try to cast the live eels too far.

My philosophy is that if you are casting off eels , cast easier or switch to something with more distance capability like the rigged eels Mike P mentioned.
