Can't Go Wrong with Star Aerial
July 15, 2022
Star Aerial rods have a reputation for giving great value and being rugged. I got the 12-20 lb. spinning model for light-medium bottom fishing. At first the blank looked too stout and I feared it would be stiff but once I started to fish with it, the action proved to be medium and sensitive enough to feel light taps. Quite pleased so far.
Pros
- Good fit and finish
- Sensitive yet sturdy
- Star warranty and reputation

Powerful and Great Value
March 13, 2021
I use the Star EX7040 with a Penn Fathom 40N 2-speed reel with 80 lb braid with a 60 lb mono top shot to fish for big mutton snappers. This set up is perfect for me and the Star rod and Fathom in low speed have the power to horse those muttons out of the rocks before they get stuck in a hole. The Aerial fit and finish is superb and represents great value.

Excellent rod for Mutton Snapper
