I love the 1201M, I think it's SOFT for pencils, the 1208 or 1209 might be a better choice...
That being said I love the 1201M.. if you find yourself down my way let me know I'll break it out and you can fire off a test cast or two...

1201M is nice
The 1201M is a great rod and has worked fine for me with 2 oz. pencils and spooks. I might prefer something a little lighter for pencils that size but it's well worth the small sacrifice when you get into a decent fish. You can wear a bass out pretty quickly with that stick.
You could probably get a 1201L and 1201M custom with a basic wrap @ M&D's for not that much more than you would pay 1 Arra most places.

I use a 1201L in spinning for throwing everything from
1-3/4 oz. up to 3 oz plugs and eels. I like its parabolic type qualities that aid in loading to working plugs. Great rod .
I like the Lami's that I also have the 1201M as a blank to be wrapped either conventional (questionable) or spinning for the bigger girls and rough water but I can't comment on experience.
RIhound would you extend that offer to me.

good advice already given on the blanks mentioned. if you are after a 10' blank/rod and you throw mostly surface plugs, especially pencils, the sb1213m(glass) or gsb1201m(graph) are great choices. the 1205 is slightly faster action and not the best all around pencil rod. many love the gsb1321m (11', 1' longer than 1201m on same graph material) for pencils and the xra1322 would be a choice as well. it's also a matter of how much do you want to spend? you dont want a faster action rod for pencils, which the 1208/1209 would be.
