Get a penn prevail instead
save your money and get a penn prevail. much better rod.
this rod is heavy and brittle
Good surf rod for the price
Nice action, great quality. Well made rod.
Has a decent number of guides for the price paid. I have seen rods for the same price with less guides.
I use it with a Daiwa Tournament SS 2600 reel.
This combo gives me great distance and lifting power fishing from a high pier.
10ft Star Aerial 2pc
I run a couple 7ft Star Aerial's as my kayak rods, so when it came to getting a surf rod Star was at the top of my list. I was a little leery on the grip as it looked to be smaller in diameter than my other rods. Absolutely Love it! The grip is awesome. Currently paired with a Penn Battle III 8000.
Great rod
I've owned one of these rods for at least the past 6 season. I've caught hundreds if not thousands of fish on it to 30+#s. Stars customer service is excellent and they stand by their warranty and their product which is important to me. I have thrown plugs close to 4 oz with it and had no problems
Big Fan
Been a fan of star rods for years I have this one for beach surf and its action is strong casting when you have to cast 8 oz put the hook on the bottom
Star Ariel rod
Got this rod with as a gift for father's day from my wife and kids along with a previously review Penn battle 2 5000 reel. The rod is very well made. I chose this rod based on my experience with my star Ariel 11 foot surf rod. This rod loads smoothly and casts very well. Have not thrown anything heavy than 2 ounces with it so far but I feel that it can handle it's rated range.… read more Only gave it a 4 star rating due to the fact I haven't thrown heavier lures with it and only caught a 20 striped Bass with it.
Great entry level rod!
Very good rod if you are just starting out, or need a backup. I got one for myself, and one for my nephew, both paired with Penn Battle reels and the are great, only complaint is they are heavier than you would expect for nine foot sticks.
Hello Fisher, that is a 50/50 split.

Yes, these rods are all a 50/50 split.
Yes, you can surely use braided line on the Star Aerial Surf Rods.
I would advise using a 4000 - 5000 size spinning reel depending on brand and model of reels your looking into.
All of the Aerial series rods are made in China. Star ships many of the components for the Aerial rods to China for manufacturing. This consists of blanks, Aftco parts, thread and a few other items. The Aerial line of rods is the only model by Star that a
Bobby, This could handle smaller sharks, and would be a good rod for Tarpon, i would not recommend using this to target large sharks from land.
