Great little rods at a great price
July 20, 2022
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
July 15, 2022
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.
Pros
  • Lightweight
  • Medium action but with good stiffness
  • Quality fit and finish
  • Star knows how to build good rods

Great Rod at a Great Price
July 14, 2022
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 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.
Pros
  • Cost is low and has a lot of backbone
Cons
  • Have not found one yet

Wonder why there aren't more in the North East
March 17, 2021
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!
Pros
  • Light
  • Durable
  • Flexible

Best Inshore rod made
September 22, 2019
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.
Pros
  • Double foot guides is what keeps me buying this model.
  • Blank coating is very durable.
  • Quality components
Cons
  • Not a single one !!!

What color is trim? Will this cast Tady 45.
1 Answer

The wrap on these rods are Gold and Red

Since the Tady 45s weigh just under 3oz I would say it is still safe to cast them with this rod

would an avet lx fit good on this
1 Answer
I think the LX is a little too heavy for this rod. I would recommend checking out the SX instead. ( http://www.tackledirect.com/avet-sx-single-speed-lever-drag-casting-reels.html ) It would be better suited for a light rod like this one...
