Get the 120 1L seems like the best fit for you...

I would check out a Batson 1088. Go see Mike at M&D's in Wareham, he makes a nice rod. I bought one and I am very happy with it. I guess it depends how much you want to spend too. The lamis will be a lot more than this Batson.

Have to disagree on the Arra comment. I couldn't be happier with my 1204. |

I have heard the same thing but more in the 9 foot models and especially the two piece versions. |

the lamiglas arra series are fine. there were some early breakage, but that has been corrected by lamiglas. part of it was due to how they rods were being built. the other part was due to a small run of bad blanks. and, as always, some breakage was due to anglers pushing their rods too much. most of the gsb-series is over rated, so be careful. the only arras i dont care for as the xra1204 (new) and 1084.
that being said, for some of what you want for a rod the lami gsb1201m is a great all purpose rod. the xra1205 is nice too, but not as good as the 1201m for throwing eels. both are similar in power. 1205 is a little faster in action. the 1201m does have a slight advantage on top end too. both love lures in the 1.5-3.5oz range. the gsb1201L tops out around 2.5 oz really. same w/ the xra1204. if you throw enough eels, you will not want a faster action rod. slower action rods are also good for pencil poppers.

I heard some people had a problem with the 1083 a while back... but I don't think it is fair to condem the whole line of rods  I haven't heard of problems with the new 1204 or the 1205. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

When you look at the facts you'll see that most of that Arra rod breakage was attributed to NEBE 
I wouldn't worry about breaking one, just don't pole vault with it.
