Oh yeah. What rod/rods are you looking to use the reel on?

I have a stiff 9 foot calstar that I use on the boat. I am also planning on maybe a 1201-m from shore, which would get nearly 90% of the use... Any other rod suggestions for a 95% pluggin set-up, thowing mainly 2 oz plugs up to 3 oz? I have always used my 9 foot from shore, and have never felt I need to go bigger to a 10ft. I don't really need the distance at the places I fish. Any 9 foot suggestions? I am not happy with the action of my current rod (too stiff)

If you get a 1201m and are going to use it the most I would go with a VS250. I have a 200 and a 250 and find myself using the 250 the most by far. I think the 250 is perfect on the 1201m.
