I picked up the 10' stealth blank at the msba show but I have not built on it yet. I set it up a bunch of different ways, NGC, traditional, a blend of the 2. When I was test casting it, the sweet spot seemed to be down around 2.5 oz, but almost all my plugs (and there are a lot of them) are over 3. It could cast them but to me it felt overloaded and I'm curious if anyone else is throwing over 3 with it and what their impression is of it with plugs over 3 or 3.25. When I was test casting 3 1/4 ounce pencils my allstar 1145-2 which in some ways is a very similar rod, was outcasting the stealth by on average 10 cranks of my vs and I spent hours test casting it with 3 different guide layouts before deciding to go another route.
