The new Centuryt Stealth blanks means tough rod/reel decisions will be coming up

Mike you have any experience with the 11 foot sling shot, model # 1328? It's rated 3 to 7oz.

I need something for big riggies and bigger plugs like GRS and big metal lips.

You think that's a good fit?

I was just playing with the Sling Shot 1328 today in fact. Its a great rod. Again , fairly flexible at first but then it gets really powerful on further loading.

As long as the lures , etc are up in the 4 OZ range or better I think its a good fit. If they are 3 to 4 the 1327 might be a better fit.

Chris I have one. If you want to throw it we can meet up, I like it. Skippy has rod envy over it...let me know.

Andy I would love to take you up on that offer.

I need a rod that I can throw large rigged eels with, large plugs 3.5oz and up, but mostly a rod that will throw riggies.

Are you using a squid on these rigged eels? If not , I would think the 3 to 5 rod would be plenty for any eel rigged with just hooks. Can't beat trying one out though since Andy has one.

Anyway , we can talk about it on Saturday.

Thought the 1328 was rated 3-7? Not trying to be picky but i got numbers flying around my head, and with the amount of room inside there these things can easily get confused.

Yes the 1328 is 3 to 7 but there is a 1327 that is 2 to 5.

The 1327 is rated 2-5, but I don't have any problems throwing an SP minnow on it. They go about 1-1/8 oz.

Ditto!!

Chris, the 1328 is going to probably be more than you need, check out the 1327, like Mike said above it throws under 2 oz. stuff pretty damn good as well as up to 5, and with good distance and less effort. Also check out the SPOD 3-6 oz. that's the blank that Gary S. caught his 50 on.

No just a basic riggie, but 16" size, they usually weigh 4 to 5oz.

Figure I'll try both of andys and talk to you on Saturday
