Lami has to make a GSB 120 2L. They build the XS 10 MS factory rod on it.

all star 1145 does all that very well, just might be tough to find since they don't make it anymore. I love mine for the times that I need a 2 piece but don't use it very often in favor of 1 piece lamis.

soooo???
do you see the 1145 as a blank that is comfortable down to an ounce? i'm more concerned about the bottom end of the range with that rod...

GSB 1081L meets that description pretty well. I don't know if it's available in a 2 piece. I also have the glb 1081m which I feel comfortable throwing up to 3 with but 1 ounce bombers feel a little light on it. When I'm fishing mostly in the 1-2 oz. range I go with the gsb 1081L. If I'm doing much over that I like the glb 108m.
If you were willing to go to 10 feet the Arra 1203-2 would be perfect but I definitely would not cut that down. Too prone to breakage. I used to love my 1145 for 1 ounce plugs until I got the 1203(old 1204). I don't have it but I would think the 9 foot lighter arra would be perfect.
