clogston-I have 1201L cut down 7 or 8" from the butt by CMS. the rod blank is less than 120" tip to butt (stock) I wanted 9'-0 but I after getting the blank in my hands it felt better at 9'-4". I've had a stock lami blank at 9'0 and the action was too fast & no give in the blank to throw eels. I know cms usually recommends 6 guides and the tip. something to think about when speaking to them. If you want to cast it let me know. When I was kicking it around allot people here helped me to figure things out and I'm very happy with it.-mike
