I've been using a honey lami, I think it's the MB1083 for eels, and I have mixed feelings on it. What do you guys think? I do have a GSB1201M, but I use it for plugs, I've never thrown an eel on it. Is the GSB 1201M a better choice?

The GSB 120 1M has more balls than the glass MB 108 3M. If you have to turn a big fish in current around structure, I'd much rather have the 1M in my hands. |

You know, I love the way you guys talk about the "number of the blank". Back in the days of Murats we would ask Charlie or Dave to build us a rod for throwing Dannys. (real Danneys at the time that were all 3 to 4 oz) We didn't know a number from a hole in the wall.
It was a Lami Honey blank or white blank, which were always stiffer, or E-glass or S-glass. I never, ever heard the number of a blank mentioned. To this day I have about 30 surf rods and I couldn't tell you the number of any of them.

Hey, Paul, I just bought a honey Lami from slow eddie and it's a beaut - a 132 3M to replace my old vintage one I broke in half last year.
That's my favorite eel rod - you can whip an eel waaay over yonder without ripping it off, and the action is pretty forgiving. Got my PB on that rod, too... 
Can't wait to use the new(er) one - sure hope those stainless guides stay on it for a while... 
Just kiddin' Eddie - it was in pretty danged good shape
I may even get in touch with him to see if he still wants to get rid of that old white Lami rug-beater Grande made that he had laying around...  |

Was that back in the days when you walked 5 miles to school--each way--uphill--in a blizzard--barefoot?   |
