great blank. very parabolic. it'll bend into the butt. good for 1-2.5oz. it'll throw 3oz comfortably if wrapped with a NGC layout. OK price IMO.

I use my custom a lot. It will throw 1 -3.25 oz. Great pencil and needle rod.

I also saw the one you are looking at, but I didn't want to spend $100+ to rewrap it and put a plate seat on it. I already did this 3-4 years ago and mine works great with new guides.

If you are looking for 2-6 especially for the canal, why don't you check out the 10'6" mojo NEW for $240. That is what you will wind up spending in total anyway.

They were made in Mexico last year, but some say that they moved production to Wisconsin recently.

I wrapped a 1321L this past winter for myself. Cut it down to something like 10'3", mostly from the tip. It is a beast of a rod after trimming. Landed a 41# in the CT river this spring (imagine the strength of the canal at full tide, but only 6' - 10' deep) with little trouble. The rod does take its toll on you after a full night of plugging or consecutive nights of fishing it. Not my favorite eeling rod once cut, but sweet for bigger plugs. I had no trouble laying into GRS deep diving pikes (5.5+ ounces), it will smoke a 2+ ounce needlefish to the horizon and it could go for more. Once cut like this, though, it was not the best at lighter stuff like unloaded redfins, but handled them well enough to be an option.
