I'm doing much better thanks. No A Fib for over 6 weeks. Doctor says don't get too disappointed if it comes back until after 6 months but so far so good. He says if it still good after 6 months I'm likely fixed permanently.
I worked out the builds on the Stealth 1 for spinners. I have not done anything about conventionals. I decided on all KW's in Alconite. I opted out of the KT and KL single foot guides and also out of the MN guides (all were considered as running guides) as there didn't seem to be any advantage to them over the KW's. If Someone were only going to use a small spooled reel with very thin braid to increase line capacity , I might go with 8's as running guides and then I might reconsider the Kt's but still might choose KW's. It would be a sound build though with size 8 KT's.
I also looked into using one size 20 LC but decided against that and opted for a 25 KW to get the height and the extra 5 MM on the ring just means it will be a hair closer to the guide but still pretty far out there for most reels. However , a single LC 20 or HV 20HH would also be viable options for the stripper but 20HH guides will be hard to find now (even when they were available they could only be found in Hardloy or SiC , not Alconite) and I would not use an LC on a 10 footer with this action. Some guys might but not me.
So that about sums up my work on the Stealth 1 as Spinners. I have decided not to give out specific guide placement info anymore ( here or on SOL) as the NGC builds change a little for each reel and reel seat placement (and I got tired of arguing about it
) . With the info here , if you know what you are doing at all , you can build a good casting , high performance rod.
