Thumbs up STEALTH POWER

Had the opportunity at our club, Ct Surfcasters to demo with Ryan White various Century rods on the beach. I must say in the extended lengths they are light. Most of the rods had infinished butts or plain shrink wrap. The smallish diameters at the butt do call for a need to double wrap even if it's at the bottom hand. I was trying to get a feel for a slower blank and opted to cast the 10' stealth. I always liked rods for throwing eels and non areodynamic plugs. I was extremely lightweight and the blank in front of the grip looked like I was using my freshwater bass rod. ryan assurred me by demoing the rods BACKBONE!!. I struggled to lift this rod as he proceeded to test the rods make up. Now the point of this post is to ask those who have actually fished this rod and caught large fish in structure, it's stopping capabilities and limits. Next year they are also coming out with new model sizes for a 9-11' spod version and a jetty series which may be another good option for our sytle of fishing.
