dangles - you need another rod??? well, i'm assuming spinning, right? gsb1201m is about the best mod-hvy eel blank i would recommend. it has the power to move a real fish as well as soft enough action to throw an eel w/o throwing it off the hook. i'll have pete's rod built on that blank at this weekend's show if you want to check it out.
all star blanks no longer produces blanks.

I picked up a rod this fall for the same reasons...did a lot of thinking and ended up with a Lami MB 114 3F cut 3" from the tip.
It's a fast action glass blank with a soft tip. Not as graceful as the graphite but does just about everything well and wont get banged up on the rocks. It's also not a lightening rod.
Only fished it a few times, but so far I'm liking it. It's not an expensive blank either.
