I own the 10ft stealth and fished it hard in spring, biggest fish was 26lbs, this was a day of fishing a herring run and numerous hi teen to mid 20 lb fish in a steady current flow.

The rod handled them great, it does have enough backbone to turn a fish.

Biggest fish I personal seen caught on that 10fr model was 38lbs last year at block in a boulder field, the rod performed flawlessly.

The rod is so light you can fish it all night.

I have the 10ft which i fished from april to june and 11ft rated 2 to 5 oz which has been my go to rod for te rest of the season.

Redfins to 5oz rigged eels, surf fish to 27lbs and even pulled some 22 to 26lb fish from the canal with it.

I'm building the new S2 11ft stealth now which is a beefed up version of 1326.

Let me know if you want to throw one again, lend it out for little while so you can actually fish it.

The stuff for 2013 looks amazing
