I already have an All Star 1088 and also have a lami 1081 mh on the way from Saltheart. I don't like the ALL Star because it's a little fast form pencils IMO. I'll see how I like the Lami. |

I hear the Lami 1205 is the best bet for pencils ... but I cannot claim due to experience with the rod, as I don't have one of those yet, but will have one for Cutty, etc.

I like the 1201m but wanted something a little lighter. The 1201m is perfect for 3 oz. pencils IMO. |

we've talked about this before but i really don't think that you'll find the 1201L to be that much better for pencils than your 1204 but your welcome to test the two side by side - maybe casting and comparing before TFCTFN next weekend? a 1201L with bigger guides than I have on mine might make for a whippier rod and one you'd be more happy with but sizing guides for action is well beyond me - i just know that it has an impact and bigger and heavier guides = whippier rod.
you tend to use more rod action with pencils than I do though so for you the difference between the 1201L and 1204 may make a bigger difference than I think it will.
