Good intermediate surf rod
November 6, 2021
Good intermediate surf rod. Handles up to 4oz and bait for bait soaking and medium plugs with a sweet spot at 2-3oz. Very well constructed.
Pros
  • Very light for size.
Cons
  • Stripper guide small for braid application. Works well for braid but not as well with mono.

Good Medium Setup for Surf Fishing
February 20, 2021
Bought the 2 piece 7' 6" model for surf fishing in South East Florida. Held up to multiple Jack Crevalle. The textured grip above the reel seat was useful to gain leverage while fighting the fish. Guide inserts were good quality, there were no cracks and they didn't pop out unexpectedly.

However, I felt the guide frames could be reinforced better, such as adding a third brace on the other side, like the largest guide near the reel seat.

I have a 8' 1 piece Star Stellar surf rod that I use for primarily Albie and Bonito from the surf. I also well as some back bay fishing. This surf rod does not disappoint it has good back bone and is very comfortable to fish with. The rod is light weight and allows for hours of fishing with little to no fatigue. Pick one up you will not be disappointed.
Pros
  • Light weight, powerful, good components, cork grip tape great Value for the price.
Cons
  • None

Tough Rods That Get The Job Done!
September 26, 2019
I cannot say anything bad about these rods. I bought 3 1 piece rods, 2 x 7'6 and one 8'. They are incredible. The 8' is my favorite for casting 2 oz kastmaster style spoons. They cast far. I have them all paired with Slammer III's. Perfect match for the surf and jetties, tanks. I've had them a while now and they take a beating and the guide rigs stay on. I'm so glad I upgraded to these from chain store cheapies.

This rod is everything I hoped it would be and more. It makes super long casts, and has great action. This will definitely be my go to surf rod.

Cast like a dream.

So I don't know how it handles any size fish just yet because I'm the only guy in NJ that didn't go on the recent bite as of late. Soon tho, if it's anything like other Star products it's wonderful. I've never had any problems with their rods.

Great for the money
November 23, 2018
The SG76IS is great for fishing back bays with smaller lures and can handle days in the surf when it’s not too rough. It’s rated to two ounces but I wouldn’t think to throw that much on it.
Pros
  • Affordable and looks high quality
Cons
  • A little over rated as far as lures go

Nice light surf rod.
November 8, 2018
I was looking for a replacement of an old light action shorter (71/2 ft.) surf rod that I've had since the 70's! It took a while to find, but the star stellar lite fit the bill perfectly! I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it will be great. I can't wait to try it out hopefully this spring in Florida casting jigs for pompano in the surf.The rod it's self has great components and is well built. Well worth the money!

Favorite 2 piece surf rod
October 10, 2018
I love this rod. Short butt length. Big guides, none of that silly micro stuff. Can throw 3/8-1.5oz. I use this rod to throw small bucktails, sp minnows and plastics in the NJ surf. Super fun to fish and handles keeper stripers without trouble. It is on the moderate-fast side, don't expect a very fast rod. It allows you to make far casts without much effort. It is just right for smaller presentations and I am super picky about rods.
Pros
  • short butt
  • 2 piece
  • stripper guide on the bottom half
  • super light weight with plenty of backbone
  • big guides allow knots with heavy leaders to pass freely
Cons
  • none

How would the Quantum blu or cabo (the ones that are on the private sale) will do with this rod? Thanks
1 Answer
Those reels will match this rod nicely for some good inshore, back bay fishing. That would be a good choice.
