the 1201L is a nice blank w/ a top end of 3oz, and a sweet spot between 1.5 and 2.5. since both blanks are more parabolic than the xra series, they are perfect for eels. the 120m is better for stuff between 2 and 4 oz with a sweet spot of 2.5-3oz.

neither blank are suggested for south county inlets. for those breachways, you want a rod between 9-9.5' with plenty of backbone. distance is rarely a factor as you rarely need to cast far. durability is. think glass or composite. 1213m stock or cut is your rod for a jetty.
