Arra 1205

[Pt.JudeJoe]

I have a 1205 and it is a great rod! I have thrown smaller metals(1.5 oz.) with it just fine. It is ,as others have said, really good for the heavier ones. I use it for bait fishing too and it throws a mack or pogie chunk with a 2 or 3 oz. egg sinker perfectly. A very good rod for my fishing.

I love my 1205 in spinning. I even throw unloaded redfins on it (they just don't go very far ). I threw eels with it for the first time the other night and it worked well with the larger ones. I like it for jigging too. Have the 1201m in conventional and it is sweet too. Take your pick, I guess. I think I like the faster action of the arra overall.

I have a lot of 10' graphite blanks. I'd rate them power-wise from top to bottom, as follows:

All Star GSW 1209--extra heavy power, fast action, 4-10 oz.

All Star GSW 1208--heavy power, moderate-fast action, 2-5 oz.

Lami XRA 1205-----medium-heavy power, moderate-fast action, 1-5.5 oz

Lami GSB 120 1M--medium power, moderate action, 1-4.5 oz

JK Fisher 8720-----medium power, moderate-slow action, 1-4.5 oz

Lami GSB 120 1L---light power, moderate action, 1-3.5 oz.
