pay no attention to the rating of this rod on their website/catalog. way, way exaggerated lure rating. 1-4oz, happy at 2-3.5. you will turn fish and load a rod.

and, i will be building that rogue and i have a couple in stock.

1201m is what I'am having wrapped right now for the samething.I can't wait to fish that rod.I almost went w/ the rainshadow 1208 which is a nice blank as well but think the gsb better suits the task.More b#@#'s to stop mr. big yet like seawolf said soft enough to throw eels.

I have the 1201m (well actually the 1202m) and to 1208 and they're both rods but I'd choose the 1201 for eeling, more parabolic. The 1201 also has alittle more balls.

If you can't pick your eels - you're screwed.

I have not seen too many bait tanks full of 2oz eels in recent memory - its seems they get a couple of good batches in the spring and fall, and then they are either too big or too small. You almost need two eel rods.
