I have a gsb1321L cut from the bottom to ten feet and it is a good eel rod and it will cast the larger eels.

Lami GSB 120 1M is the rod to go with
I have that rod and I plug with it up to 3-1/2 oz pencils and down to 1 ounce plastic swimmers if I have to.
great eeling rod
I will be tossing some rubba with it this weekend

MikeCC made mine and did a pissa job and got it to me 2 days before out cutty trip last fall.

it does NOT toss up to 12 ounces, you may have mixed it up with the fiberglass lami sb121 3m, I have that also and it wears bass down fast in the canal when I use it.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Lami rates it to throw 12, thats crap. Its 1-4, maybe 5 if you don't lay into it.

The only thing I don't like it for is sluggos. That's were I'd go with its cousing, 1081m.

the gsb1201m is probably one of the most versatile blanks i build on. i've built it as a spinner and caster. you can plug and eel with it and it handles a wide range of lure weight, with 1-4 being the optimum, 1.4-3.5 about perfect.

however, if you are going to be consistantly throwing up to 5 ounces with it, you may want to look at the sb1213m, xra1261mh, rainshadow sw1209 or su1209/1208. you'll want a rod that can handle the high end better than just lobbing it at the high end.

I have both the 1201l and 1201m. The 1201l is my favorite eel rod especially if you cannot get large eels. It handles large eels too. You will cast more eels off with the 1201m if you are not careful.
