Pete, I was considering a 1205 - as I felt it would be a good plugging stick and I like to throw big plugs (but will need to throw smaller plugs at times as well) ... so do you still recommend the 1201m, even though it doesn't seem to throw the larger plugs as well as the 1205 ... based on your photo and comment.
thanks

If I was going to pick one of the two it would definitely be the 1201m. It can basically do everything the 1205 can and in some cases better (eels), other then hitting a wall more quickly with big plugs.
I'm a big fan of the way the 1201m flexes when fighting a fish, unless you have mobus on the 1205 definitely fights fish further up the rod then the 1201m.
Casting style and personal preference make the difference. In the shop a few days ago I watched 3 guys all with multiple 50+ pound fish from the surf discuss one surf rod. One thought it was perfect, the other slow but good, and the other thought the rod was a joke.
