Question Best Rod 10-11 foot rod for Pencils (non glass)

Am I correct in thinking that the GSB 1201L would be the best choice for fishing pencils in the 2-2.5 Oz. range?

Opinions????????

I should clarify! 11 footer is just not necessary! Not for pencils! Depending on conditions I use a Lami 1205 around the boulders on Cuttyhunk and similar areas.....a 1083 Lami spinner alot also.....or a 1081 or 1084 conventional in sandy less rocky spots!

1201L should be ok!

Very unlikely that I would ever get an 11 footer. I don't even know if I have a place to store one. Just curious to hear opinions. Wondered if alot the gsb 1321 was a popular choice.

I already have an All Star 1088 and also have a lami 1081 mh on the way from Saltheart. I don't like the ALL Star because it's a little fast form pencils IMO. I'll see how I like the Lami.

I hear the Lami 1205 is the best bet for pencils ... but I cannot claim due to experience with the rod, as I don't have one of those yet, but will have one for Cutty, etc.

I like the 1201m but wanted something a little lighter. The 1201m is perfect for 3 oz. pencils IMO.

I don't know if it is the best choice but it is what I use and it works well.
