listen to seawolf on his rod recommendations! i don't think i built any of my rods without running it by him first. i fish a lot of the same areas as you, snake slinger, and i think a 10' would suit you better. the 1201M is my GO TO rod these days. i take the conventional for eeling and the spinner for plugging. i would stay away from the batsons. not worth the price break, unless you like broken rods. the 1088 may be a nice stick, but you can do much better with the 1201M. fishing around lobster pots, rocks, etc... you want something that will put the breaks on a fish. the M will do it!
