Not sure about the warranty. I assumed that it was a G4 because when I talked with the owner (I didn't catch his name) he said it was above the G3 line but below an IMX, normal retail for the blank was listed at $206. I'm not really sure what gloomis calls that. I do know it was a ST1025 which is what's important. I haven't told my dad about it yet, figured it would make a great early fathers day gift.

By the way, about summer stealhead, I'd rather go with a rod a little to heavy than one to light. I fished next to a guy the other day who told me about a summer steelie he caught last year. I saw the photo later, 30lbs!!!!!!! What a rocket! Like I said I'd rather go with a rod a little on the heavy side than let a beauty like that get away.

What did you guys expect from the Mighty North Umpqua river...???
