Thanks gonna keep looking for a bit, also would like to find a allstar 1208 wrapped spinning. I have a block island trip coming up at the end of the month and I really don't want to be out gunned with my xsra 1205-2

1205 is seldom out gunned. I would only recommend my rod if throwing big plugs was the application.

I've fished both the AS 1208 and the XRA 1205. They're both big guns. The XRA, being a more moderate taper, does more things than the 1208. Unless you're fishing moving water, like the Canal, the 1208 sucks for pencil poppers, for one example. If you throw eels on it, you'll tear some off on the cast, too, especially if you use braid.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
