GSB 1201m or Arra 1205

1201m for sure.

I have both, the 1205 is just a bit too fast action for eeling.

I can cast plugs further with my 1205 but my 1201m is what I usually use most of time no matter what I'm doing these days.

I would choose the 1205 for a conventional eeling rod. I like the rod as an all around rod so 1 rod can be used for eeling and plugging. . Despite the faster action , I won't cast eels off with a conventional . I like the sensitivity for bite detection.

My next choice amongst the rods mentioned would be the 1201L.

I think the Arra 1322 would be the rod I'd buy just for eeling but nobody asked about that one.
