seams that alot of people don't like the 9' gsb blanks. i really like the 1081m that i have. good for eels, not great - but i think that's just because i prefer a 10' rod for eels. very good for sluggos and plugs from about 3/4 up to 3 oz.
i think that the gsb1201m cut down to 9' might be alittle stiff for what you want. i have one cut down to 9.5' from the but and find it significantly stiffer than the 1201m at 10' (although that may be due to variation in the blanks). i'd say that the 1201m cut down to 9.5' is more of a 1.5 - 4.5 or even 5 rod, and is a bit stiff for live eels. It really shines as a riggie rod IMO though and thats what i use it for most.
i had a batson sw1088 for about a month and sold it. Didn't like the feel of it at all.
