Impressive
I've been using Star Plasma rods for several years and have never been let down, even on huge (over 300#) sharks.
Lightweight, Great Appearance, Perfect feel, and plenty of Backbone
I paired this with a Seigler SG reel and its now my go-to setup for anything in the Gulf. The design of the reel seat is such that its a long ways up the butt, much more than my other rods. while that will take some getting used to, i think i will prefer it. This is the best mass-produced jigging rod out there. I also own Trevala, Cedros, and US Tiger lites... this is the best… read more one with the Cedros coming in second simply because of weight. Don't hesitate to buy this!
Star hasn't failed me yet !!!
Broke her in on monster AJs this spring , even got smoked on the saltiga dogfight 8000 Df a few times on 90+ lb AJs but the top of the line components and blank make this a weapon . Can't for cape cod the end of summer to give it the full on test with BFT.
Very light yet powerful
The first thing you notice about this rod is how light it is. But it has a bunch of backbone for such a thin rod. Not cheap, but a great rod.
Strong backbone and very light
Caught a 28 inch red grouper in 180 feet of water. Rod handled the fish easily.
Favorite jigging rod
I have caught everything from aj's to wahoo on these rods
Good jigging rod
I went on a jigging/popping trip a few months ago and the captain had a few of these on the boat paired with Trinidad 16a reels. I got cut off on my set up and the star plasma jigger was sitting right there ready to go wit a jig already tied on. I grabbed it and noticed immediately how light the rod was. I caught several blackfin tuna on it. it has a nice bend and is plenty strong… read more enough. I thought it fished as good as some of the higher priced rods I use.
This setup seems would be appropriate for both the Florida and NJ/NY applications so long as the jigs and or weight you are using doesnt exceed the 8 oz. rating. Some anglers may prefer a longer rod than 5' 2" but that is a matter of personal preference.
This rod has a lifetime warranty.
Will pass this onto Star Rods and let them know!
