nope, got a conventional from you. not sure the blank number, but i think it was a pacbay. maybe a 1087. still have it.

thats pretty much how i felt about the batson too. even with braid, had no feel for what was going on.

Thanks again guys, I learned alot!!! I'm using a 9 foot gsb 108 now (nocuts) , for live and rigged eels now and like it. I just thought there might be something better for live snakes. I been doing this for a long time and wish I had the money I spent looking for the "perfect" rod over the last 35 years. This is my first full season fishing eels again and wanted to see what everyone else thought. You have been a big help!`

Thumbs up

I was luck enough to get the 1322 as a gift. I sling eels with it and plugs without problems. I love the rod.

Funny I have had one for many years and hate the thing. Feels like a steel rod, too stiff for plugs IMO, for what that is worth. Just goes to show you everyone is different. I bet it would make a very good jigging rod but I have a hard time getting the thing to bend when i throw a plug, could be I am small and don't have enough steam, strength behind me to load the rod. I still use it but not happy with it most of the time.
