Great little rods at a great price

Kenneth

2 years ago

I bought a pair of these rods (6'6" MH) for inshore applications (mostly fluking) to pair with some hot-rodded 146 Penn Squidders I built. The fit and finish is outstanding. They're Medium Heavy power with fast action in the tip, which is what I'm looking for. They seem to handle jigs well up to about 2-3 oz.

Perfect for Inshore Snappers

Andrew

2 years ago

I got the Stellar Lite 8-16 lb. 6' 6" model for inshore mangrove and yellowtail snappers and it is perfect for the job. I paired it with a Daiwa Fuego LT 3000 loaded with 12 lb. mono. It is a lightweight set up that can be fished all day, sensitive but with enough stiffness to land bigger fish if I get lucky. Highly recommended.

Great Rod at a Great Price

Paul

This is a really nice rod. The finish is great on the rod I got. Recently used it on a trip to Canada and easily handled some big lures and big northern pike. I also used it while trolling for lake trout and it handled a 1oz spoon and 1.5oz weight with no problem.

Star Rods Stellar Lite series

Star Stellar lite rods are by far the most durable and comfortable rods to fish with. Great power without the added weight. They come in so many lengths and weights to fish any situation. It's like having a custom rod at a great price without breaking the bank.

I have several of these rods from spinning to conventional. The conventional is my go to rod when I need power in strong current situations. It is light weight and has a big backbone.

Wonder why there aren't more in the North East

Love this rod. It's light, flexible and durable. I know the company who make the rods are based in the Southeast, but I'm surprised there aren't more Star Rods in the Northeast. I have a blast catching summer and late season stripers up in the Northeast on this rod every season!

Best Inshore rod made

DAVE W.

I have recently purchased a half dozen of these and after using each one personally I think they are the best rods for the dollar that anyone could spend their money on.
I have been using Star rods almost twenty years and I have never had a problem with any of them.

Asked by Sam 7 years ago

Which rod would be a better fit for a quantum cabo 80 that would be used for fishing off of piers for big snook and other big game fish, the SG1525FT80 or the SG1530S80?

Post an Answer

Donald 7 years ago

The Star Stellar Lite SG1530S80 would be a better fit fishing from a pier for snook. You want a rod with a bit more backbone fishing from a pier and this rod would do just that.

Would a penn conflict 2 3000 fit very comfortably on the star rod stellar lite SG1020ISM STA-0102 Spinning Line weight 10-20 lure weight 1/2 - 1 1/2 7ft 1 pc Medium?

The Penn Conflict II 3000 fits comfortably on the SG1020ISM. I would recommend looking even at the 4000 as well for more line capacity.
