Just had a chance to use the new rod last weekend . First trip and caught a sailfish and king on the 6 ft EX2050 C6 version rated for 20-50# which I matched to TLD 25 with 40 lb test. Great balance and feel. Also trolled a 10" large lip rebel lure ( 18 feet depth) for grouper /snapper. Nice rod tip libration when lure is performing correctly yet stiff enough that you avoid too… read more much flex. I have switched to no rollers in my trolling rod guides (less issues long term and less weight) and this rod is the ticket. I am getting a second one this weekend if I can get it in low $100 range.
Quality without the cost

I used to stick with Ugly Stick (price point). After a friend turned me on to Star Rods, I now have 10 in my boat. 6 with AVET, and 4 with Shimano Bait Runners. Can tackle anything. You will not find a better rod for this pricing.
Great value

I have a FIN NOR Santiago SA30. I'm looking for a stand up rod for bottom fishing but that I can also toss out and troll while heading from reef to reef. Can someone make a good suggestion? Thanks

How big are the eyes? 50-80 with ring guides seems to be a good fit for 4-8 size planers (Eglass & aluminum reel seat) IF the eyes are big enough to pass a 250 spro swivel for a wind on bridle.

<span>Hi AJ, According to Star Rods, The EX3080RS Aerial Stand-up Rod has a roller first guide and a roller tip with standard ring guides in the middle. A #4 planer won't be an issue, #8 planer would be the maximum size to use on it. Please let us know i

Which rod to pair with a Penn Squall 30VSW (loaded with 100# hollowcore and 80# topshot) for Gulf of Mexico party boat chunking for Yellowfin to 100#s? 30/80 or 50/100?

I would recommend the 30-80 MH model stand up for for this fishing application, but you certainly wont go wrong with either if you desire that little extra backbone and stiffness the 50-100 rod would give you!

What model would you recommend for trolling with shimano tld 20 for nearshore and offshore. Kingfish and dolphin mostly.
Brian

EX1530C-6 would be the best model with the Star Aerial Standup line of rods. We would suggest taking a look at the EXKF for kings and dolphin, would match perfectly with the TLD 20:<p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.tackledirect.com/star-rods-exkf-aeria

For the TLD 20 I recommend the STA-0230, for the two spinning reels you would have to use the same rod because there is only one spinning model in this line, it would be STA-0226. If your looking for something lighter check out the para-flex boat rod to g
