You should get the one that Slip, Mac and I were using 
All Star 1209 or the Breakaway factory rod that's built on the blank. Throwing Timber has one for sale in the Classifieds.
The Batson Rainshadow SU 1209 is a very close approximation if you can't find an All Star/Breakaway.
Other blanks that will work---Lamiglas XRA 126 1MH, GSB 132 1M or 120 1M, or the old glass standy-by SB 121 3M. |

what Mike said
|
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thanks.

The only shop that has any right now is CMS. Mike's been waiting since last November for his order.
It's a totally different rod than the 1205. Very parabolic. The best way I can describe it is, it's a lighter, crisper-actioned 121 3M.
Don't be misled by the 4-6 oz rating. I can cast 2 oz on it without much trouble at all. And it will do 6. |

I love Parobolic.But my honey rod has been getting dusty.I picked up a 1205 an couldn't really feel much differencne from my gsb120 1M.I would like to try a the arra wit the different number. i thought they stopped makin em.I absolutely love the xra 1322.Has that nice parabolic bend u mentioned.But cast's much better than the glass.Lami is the worst on lure ratings thats why they get so many rods back broken.If i casted 5 onces wit my gsb 10 fter for a week it would be in 2 pcs in 3 days.
