If I ever make it down to SWE
I'll be testing out some of the rack. Hopefully find what I'm looking for. If I don't I'll at least pick up a new spool.

I picked up two new sticks toward the end of last season that are still pretty much new. A Lami 1201L with 4" cut off the tip done conventional and a glass Lami 1143F with 3" from the tip done spinner.
Love both rods so fer...

I have a 1088 Rainshadow blank that needs to be wrapped and a custom Lamiglass customwrapped 11'6" that I won at PISC. I may want to sell that one as it just doesn't fit in the arsenal. Tim, who donated it, had it wrapped for getting eels out there to the bars, and said it loaded up really well.

I got a new all star 1265 conventional cut down to 10' from the butt with a calcutta 400b which I really like so far. I still have a ways to go in getting comfortable with. the conventional thing though. I also picked up a 9 ft all star e-glass spinner rated 1-4. Its heavy but it'll throw anything, 3/4 oz bucktails to bombers to atom 40s and big habs needles. Very versatile and tought stick. I think it'll be great for eeling the rocks too.

You're gonna love the 1265, especially when you get comfortable to really load up a 2.5 oz plug on the convench!

108 1L.? I would use heavier rods for largemouth bass.
I had a 132 1L.It lasted bout ten trips b4 i folded it in half casting a 2.5 needle.I prefer the 108 1M i have the factory rod.Served me well. I had a 10' 542 wrapped spinning for me this fall past my new favorite rod.
There seems to be this surgence back towards conventional tackle. For casting on the beach.I don't really understand it.I guess some just consider it more fun.Which is fine i still think it is harder to fish with has way to many limitations.an on a long walk it has a greater chance of a reel malfunction that will render it useless.I have used convetionalls allot I always joke around an say i can cast a swivel.In the surf they just don't make sense to me.Eel man uses em an he certainly has more big fish than me but it hink thats just circumstance.Slower retrieves or lets say it right Less Line retrieved per turn of the handle will have u in better contact with ur offering.an u won't have to worry bout windknots with needles.There's a plus.
Good luck wit the new sticks.
