    Great rods!

    I got the 7’6” 3/8-13/4 rod for casting for snook and Redfish in south Florida as well as Spanish and pompano and even bonita from the panhandle piers. The rod does not disappoint. The rod is very light and balanced well with a 3000 Stradic. Very light tip allows you to feel everything while the powerful butt let’s you control big fish. I even caught a 20# king salmon here in Michigan and the rod handled the fish easily.
    The rod does not feel as fast as the other Star rods but it cast lures farther with little effort. I highly recommend the VPR rods!

    Great inshore rod

    I’ve been using the 7’ rated 3/8-1 1/4oz for a season now and it’s a great rod.. I fish it more like a 1/4-3/4oz rod, but it handles 1oz fine. The action is a little softer than I like for jigging but it’s still extremely sensitive in that role. Great for throwing light stuff like mirrolures, metals and soft plastics. It handles flounder/stripers/bluefish up to 24” with no problem and will handle bigger fish as well.
    Pros
    • Extremely sensitive and light, casts great
    Cons
    • A little softer than I like, not ideal for working a jig but not horrible either.
