i just want it for general purpose so i can catch whiting or gummies or snaps

I think both are fibreglass rods. The 12ft is rated like 10-12kg. A bit heavy class for whiting. Good for gummy/big salmon/big snapper or big fish in general.
Either wont be much diff. Similar price too isnt it.

yeah, would the lighter one be a able to handle a dig snap or gummy though?
which one do you think is better like cast length etc?

Ideally have two sets. One heavy for big fish like gummy and one lighter for smaller fish like whiting.
12kg 12ft rod with 8000 reel and 50-60 lb line for gummy.
9kg 9ft-10ft rod with 4000 reel and 15 lb line for whiting.
