I wrapped myself the 11' 3 -8 for heavy plugs and eels and have been extremely happy with it so far this season.

The Stealth series is supposed to be fairly parabolic, whereas the HJ series (now called the Sling Shot series) are moderate/fast rods.

Actually, the 11 HJ that I have isn't markedly different from the 10-1/2' MH Legend and Mojo rods from St. Croix. Besides being a couple of ounces lighter. Very similar tapers.
