I fish eels 95 % of the time as well, and the rod I fish 100% of the time is a 9 ft tica dolphin... medium/heavy. rated 2-6 oz. a super light rod with a lot of heart. I turned and landed a 43.5 # bass this year in heavy surf in a boulder field... you dont need a rod of steel...

Lamiglas 132 3M is my recent favorite for eels - fairly forgiving in the tip and just enough butt to put the boots to a better sized fish 
Just snapped one in half and I'm picking up another shortly  |

Lots of good suggestions here.
Don't overlook the Lami SSU 101 MHS. I'm pretty sure that M&Ds has a few left. The 1205 blank is nice if you're going to go custom, but for an off the rack factory rod, you can't do better than the Lami Super Surf series. The Arra and Surf and Jetty factory rods have crappy guides.

Lami GSB 1201 m if you want graphite. This is what I would get if I were you.
Lami 1213m if you don't mind a heavy rod. Its indestructible and will put the breaks on any bass, but its heavy. I only fish this rod when I know there are some big fish around and that I'm either gonna have to manhandle them to keep them out of structure or when I think I'm going to have to quickly weed through as many smaller fish as possible to get to the big girl.

Either lami gsb 1201L or 1201M. The former is a better eel rod especially if you cannot get large eels. I have caught fish over 40#s on BI in the rocks with it.
