The Temple Reef Stealth STK is one of the most versatile casting rod series in the Temple Reef lineup. Designed for spinning reels and artificial lures, the STK is an excellent choice for anglers casting stickbaits, poppers and other artificial lures for tarpon, snook, striped bass, California yellowtail, blackfin tuna, mahi and other medium-sized pelagic gamefish.
With four models ranging from the STK72M through STK78HH, anglers can choose the rod that best matches their target species, lure weight and fishing conditions. The lighter models provide excellent casting performance for inshore and lighter offshore applications, while the heavier models offer additional power for larger tarpon, California yellowtail and stronger offshore pelagics.
The STK's medium action loads smoothly when casting and remains forgiving during the fight, making it an excellent choice for anglers who want a powerful rod without sacrificing casting performance or versatility.
