BTW Nice thread

Something to keep in mind when getting to know the Stealth series of rods. And that is both the S1 and T1 Stealths were designed primarily for carp fishing in the UK. these rods were built soft so as to not to impart to much force on the fish to pull hooks from soft mouths. Also as the name implies the were designed for soft presentations. with lighter baits. Here those rods transcend thier original intent and are outstanding rods for small swim bait and larger and still have a lot of backbone to to turn fish.
Now the 11 is a whole new rod. If fedex is ontime I should have my hands on one tomorrow afternoon. If anyone wants a quick review and an opinion on it I would be happy to write someting up quick and post it
