for 11' models the gsb1321L and xra1321 are great up to the same lure range 2.5 ounce. if you are throwing 2.5 - 3 ounce pencils, go with the xra1322 or gsb1321M.
if you really want a 9' model, which may be more difficult to work a pencil effectively, you could use the gsb1081m.

do you think the 1201 L is much better for pencils than the arra 1204? |

Best pure pencil popper blank ever made, bar none:
glass Lami 1164, later called the SB 136 2F.

You don't like the 1201m for pencils?
Is the 1204 the new rating or the old rating? I think you would like the 1205
