Star Seagis Inshore Spinning Rods
The new Seagis inshore rod series from Star Rods incorporates the latest component technology to create an ultra-lightweight inshore rod with superior sensitivity. Only top quality Fuji components are used on the fast taper high-modulus specially processed graphite blank. Fuji?s new SK2 split reel s...eat gives increased sensitivity while reducing weight. The new Fuji K-Series Tangle-Free guides with Alconite rings are lightweight and shed tangles that occur while using today?s popular braided lines. Top quality cork split grips further reduce weight. Weighing in at a mere 3.5oz ? 4.3oz. Star Rods has set the new standard as the premier inshore fishing rod. Rods can benefit from the use of the New Guide Concept. By reducing guide size near the tip of the rod weight is reduced in this critical area and more of the imparted energy can be used for casting rather than starting and stopping the rod. Rod response and recovery are noticeably improved and overall rod balance shifts that much closer to the handle.

Star Rods are the Best

This is my inshore rod of choice with 2500 size spinning reel. Great action!
Ultra light heavy duty

Very lightly built robust inshore rod. Balances very well with a 2500-3000 reel for lots of casting. So nicely built, I lost my first one overboard on my kayak and bought a second.
Well made

This Star rod is a great buy for the money. It performs just as well as many of my higher priced rods. I use it to throw live baits under docks and bridges. It has a fast tip that allows you to throw smaller baits and the backbone to pull large fish out of structure. I would recommend this rod for anyone that pitches bait into structure.
Great rods!

I own 8 Star Seagis and 3 Star Paraflex rods. I have never had any issues with any of them! I know of no other rod in that price range that is any better. None!
Buy a Star rod, you won't be disappointed.
Strong and Light!

I bought 3 Seagis rods for fishing fresh and salt. They're very light and decently sensitive and have great pulling power. I paired these with Shimano CI4+ reels, and they feel amazing. Highly recommended!
High modulus rods are not as strong and can break. Love the rod anyway.

I have the 7 foot version of this rod and I love it. Very sensitive and casts light weights a mile. But you must realize(generally speaking) that the high modulus rods are not as strong as the lower modulus rods. There is always a trade-off, there is no perfect rod.
When I fight a large fish I don't life the rod too high and all is well. If you fish from a pier don't try to…

Besides my custom built rods, I really like the seagis series. I have 5 of them. My only con is using them kayak fishing, the butt section is a little long. But in the boat, a great rod. Super light to cast all day...

Lifetime warranty and one of the best rods out there. Affordable and as good if not better than the more popular rods like Lamiglas or St. Croix.
Made for braid

Upon switching my light inshore gear from mono to braid, I found that my rods that worked fine with mono did not work nearly as well with braid. The solution was these Star Seagis rods with guides designed specifically for braided line.
Awesome rod!

I have owned this rod for a few months now and it has preformed flawlessly. It has amazing sensitivity when I'm trying to feel the small bite of a sheepshead but has the backbone to pull them away from structure. I have it paired with a 4000 BG and the combo is very light and very well balanced. Perfect for the price that it is listed as. Has micro guides and I use 30lb power pro… read more and I've had 0 wind knots.
One of the best cork handle inshore rods I've ever used. Star builds great rods period . Pair this with a new Diawa ballistic 2500Lt and enjoy.

The seagis is a great rod which I paired up with a shimano sustain 4000 and it handles anything from bass all the way to snook and small tarpon. Also the guides are very nice and the grip is has a very nice feel and is comfortable when fishing.
Bitter Sweet

I ordered this rod on April 4 from TD and I received it on April 11. The sweet of it is this rod is lightweight and has an unbelievably smooth cast. I have it paired up with a Penn 4500 Conqueror.
The bitter is that I hooked a large blue fish yesterday April 30 and the rod snapped. It sounded like a gunshot when it broke.
I was not a happy camper at the time but my…

buddy reminded me that Star has a lifetime guarantee. I will be calling TD today and putting it to the test. More to follow.... Merchant Response:Yes we are replacing your rod.

Saragosa 5000 and 7" medium perfect for albies and blues, etc.?
Rebecca Redington
5 years ago
The rod will work for albies and blues. A Saragosa 5000 will be great for blues but you do not necessarily need a 5000 for the albies. Usually a 4000 is the best size.

Is a shimano spheros 6000 too large for the medium heavy spinning rods?
Devon
6 years ago
Yes a 6000 size Spheros would be too large of a reel for those particular rods. A 4000 size Shimano Stradic would pair much better with the medium-heavy Star Agegis rods.

For the 7'6" 1/4 to 3/4 do you think I would be able to get away with throwing a 1oz buck tail
Donald

You would be able to use a 1 oz. You would just see a bit more bend to the rod because it is recommended 3/4 oz max lure weight.
