I currently use a loomis 1266/2 for eeling. I am building myself an Allstar 1265/2 for my next eeling rod. I use an 11'6" heavy steelhead rod for eeling for about 16 yeras so I like longer than 9 feet. I'm also big and tall so maybe that also stears me towards the longer rods.

I think you need a different rod for the breachways and rocks like narragansett than you do for the beaches. I think the Allstar 1088 is the best 9 footer for the breachways and narragansett rocks. I think the Allstar 1145/2 would be better on the beach. I believe there is an Allstar 1087 that would be a good beach rod for eels if you must have one piece.

For Lamis , the 120 1L is very nice and probably versatile enough for anywhere although I prefer faster action rods for their sensitivity.
