Also what is the difference in the L vs the M??

What price range is the 1201 in and where can I get one quickly?

I have a Arra 1204 but it is in conventional and I want spinning.

Thanks for the help.

It's overrated. You can cast less than 1 oz without a sweat and it tops out around 3, maybe 3-1/2.

The M is a little stiffer, has more beef in the butt section, and casts up to 4-1/2 or 5 oz. Being parabolic, as a spinning rod, you can also lob light stuff.

The "old" Arra 1204 (the parabolic one rated 7/8 to 2-1/2), which is the "new" 1203, is ideal for what you want. The blank isn't all that much more expensive than the 120 1L.
