I've got a 1205 conventional and I find it a substantially better rod for plug fishing (2-4oz) than my 10ft KennedyFisher (which is a similar action to the 1201m as far as I know). I suspect it is too fast an action to throw eels well, but that isn't an issue for me.

You guys might want to look at the Lamiglas SSU series rods. They make 3 different actions in 10' blanks.

I have a 1205 for the big stuff but my 1084 gets used much more as 2 ounces seem to catch best in my area

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

Same here. Have the 1205 in both spinning and conventional. |
