I think I am going to bring both my rods with me as a reference point to a builder and try to find one that matches their action... and maybe a lami isnt what i'm looking for... Thanks for so much feed back you guys!

Reverberation is often caused by heavy guides and supposedly also a poor casting stroke (too tight an upper hand and overpowering the rod after the release, I think).

Supposedly softer action rods help avoid ripping hooks out of eels...not that I would know.

The SSU1201mh is a nice blank and seems a bit "faster" than the 1201m, but not as fast as the 1205. I have one built spinning you can borrow if you get up to the canal area.
