I own and love both the 101 and 51 but like trav mentioned, it's going to come down to what speed reel you prefer for TW and JB.
I prefer a 7:1 gear ratio so 51 it is for me. If you plan on slow rolling SB then you will benefit more from the 101.

Have you seen the Dobyns DX and Phenix Recon rods? JDM styling on USDM rods....they are by far the most attractive current production rods. Besides the fact that they are great rods they are one of the few US rod making companies trying to make their rods look as good as they fish. As far as Dobyns ...
