I've only made a few casts with the 10' Stealth, at the demo that Big Dave put on at the Scussett pier about a month ago. It was a factory set-up, and the reel seat placement wasn't ideal for someone my height. I made a few casts with a Daiwa SP minnow. That's not an good plug for judging how a rod throws, because in my experience, they fly as far on most rods, with most reels/guide set-ups. It throws about the same on my 1322 with a COF guide set-up, my 3/4-4 Mojo with a less-than-ideal LC set-up, and on my HJ 1327 Century with a K-frame set-up. It's a good casting plug for a plastic minnow swimmer, but it's not the best for showing what a rod is capable of.

If I remember correctly, the factory Stealth came with a HH frame hardaloy first guide, and single foot hardaloys the rest of the way.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
