[QUOTE=SeaWolf]pay no attention to the rating of this rod on their website/catalog. way, way exaggerated lure rating. 1-4oz, happy at 2-3.5. you will turn fish and load a rod.QUOTE]
1201m is what I'am having wrapped right now for the samething.I can't wait to fish that rod.I almost went w/ the rainshadow 1208 which is a nice blank as well but think the gsb better suits the task.More b#@#'s to stop mr. big yet like seawolf said soft enough to throw eels.
I have the 1201m (well actually the 1202m) and to 1208 and they're both rods but I'd choose the 1201 for eeling, more parabolic. The 1201 also has alittle more balls.

I have not seen too many bait tanks full of 2oz eels in recent memory - its seems they get a couple of good batches in the spring and fall, and then they are either too big or too small. You almost need two eel rods.
