i built the all star 1208 conv for eeling/plugging. in my opinion, it is not a good eeling stick. not enough give to the blank for the way i throw eels. i was casting off a lot of eels with it. i really like my 121 3m for eeling. takes a little getting used to in order to cast smaller eels, but it is the BALLS when you get a good fish on! another great choice would be a 120 1M. plenty of power and it has the "give" to keep more eels on the hook when you really lay into a cast. those are both lami's. i fish both of these rods with 7000's.
