The new Seagis inshore rod series from Star Rods incorporates the latest component technology to create an ultra-lightweight inshore rod with superior sensitivity. Only top quality Fuji components are used on the fast taper, high-modulus specially processed graphite blank. Fuji?s new SK2 split reel seat gives increased sensitivity while reducing weight. The new Fuji K-Series Tangle-Free guides with Alconite rings are lightweight and shed tangles that occur while using today?s popular braided lines. Top quality cork split grips further reduce weight. Weighing in at a mere 3.5oz ? 4.3oz., Star Rods has set the new standard as the premier inshore fishing rod.
Rods can benefit from the use of the New Guide Concept. By reducing guide size near the tip of the rod, weight is reduced in this critical area and more of the imparted energy can be used for casting rather than starting and stopping the rod. Rod response and recovery are noticeably improved and overall rod balance shifts that much closer to the handle.
An $8.00 oversize packaging charge applies to this item as it ships in a long heavy duty tube to protect your items. This fee will still apply when discount shipping coupons are used.

Bitter Sweet
May 1, 2017
I ordered this rod on April 4 from TD and I received it on April 11. The sweet of it is this rod is lightweight and has an unbelievably smooth cast. I have it paired up with a Penn 4500 Conqueror.
The bitter is that I hooked a large blue fish yesterday April 30 and the rod snapped. It sounded like a gunshot when it broke.
I was not a happy camper at the time but my buddy reminded me that Star has a lifetime guarantee. I will be calling TD today and putting it to the test. More to follow....

Merchant Response:Yes we are replacing your rod.

Ultra light heavy duty
March 21, 2022
Very lightly built robust inshore rod. Balances very well with a 2500-3000 reel for lots of casting. So nicely built, I lost my first one overboard on my kayak and bought a second.
Pros
- Very light with very nice cork.

Star Rods SK1020FT76G Seagis Spinning Rod
April 27, 2021
This Star rod is a great buy for the money. It performs just as well as many of my higher priced rods. I use it to throw live baits under docks and bridges. It has a fast tip that allows you to throw smaller baits and the backbone to pull large fish out of structure. I would recommend this rod for anyone that pitches bait into structure.
Pros
- Fast tip and good backbone
Cons
- It’s a little fragile so you need to take care when storing.

Great rods!

If your Star Seagis rod snaps while fighting a fish, you either have the drag too tight or using a rod not rated for the pound test line you're using. I've fished with Star Seagis and Paraflex for several years and have never had a rod break while fighting a fish. And I think I have 9 Seagis and Paraflex rods all mounted with Penn reels. Just a great combination.
Pros
- The very best rods in that price range and above that I've ever fished with. I think I own over 15 of them!
Cons
- I'd like to be able to find more 7'6" rods especially in the lighter pound test ranges such as 6-14, 10-17, etc

Great rods!
October 9, 2020
I own 8 Star Seagis and 3 Star Paraflex rods. I have never had any issues with any of them! I know of no other rod in that price range that is any better. None!
Buy a Star rod, you won't be disappointed.
Buy a Star rod, you won't be disappointed.
Pros
- Great blanks and components with a wide variety of lengths and strengths to choose from.
- I do have several custom rods too and those are the only other rods I will buy. I'm a fishing guide and depend heavily on my fishing gear and I've tried several different rod brands but always come back to Star Rods. Clients can be rough on gear too but the Star Seagis and Paraflex have held up under the harshest conditions. Be it fish or clients!
Cons
- I want more lol! You can't have too many rods and reels!

Strong and Light!
March 13, 2020
I bought 3 Seagis rods for fishing fresh and salt. They're very light and decently sensitive and have great pulling power. I paired these with Shimano CI4+ reels, and they feel amazing. Highly recommended!
Pros
- Strong
- Light
- Sensitive
Cons
- 1 piece

High modulus rods are not as strong and can break. Love the rod anyway.
June 28, 2019
I have the 7 foot version of this rod and I love it. Very sensitive and casts light weights a mile. But you must realize(generally speaking) that the high modulus rods are not as strong as the lower modulus rods. There is always a trade-off, there is no perfect rod.
When I fight a large fish I don't life the rod too high and all is well. If you fish from a pier don't try to horse the larger fish with the rod - use net.

My favorite rods
March 8, 2019
Besides my custom built rods, I really like the seagis series. I have 5 of them. My only con is using them kayak fishing, the butt section is a little long. But in the boat, a great rod. Super light to cast all day...

Best bang for the buck

Lifetime warranty and one of the best rods out there. Affordable and as good if not better than the more popular rods like Lamiglas or St. Croix.
Pros
- Price, warranty

Made for braid
March 15, 2018
Upon switching my light inshore gear from mono to braid, I found that my rods that worked fine with mono did not work nearly as well with braid. The solution was these Star Seagis rods with guides designed specifically for braided line.
Pros
- Perfect for braid.
- Casts beautifully.
- Great feel that inspires confidence.
Cons
- Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.

Awesome rod!
February 8, 2018
I have owned this rod for a few months now and it has preformed flawlessly. It has amazing sensitivity when I'm trying to feel the small bite of a sheepshead but has the backbone to pull them away from structure. I have it paired with a 4000 BG and the combo is very light and very well balanced. Perfect for the price that it is listed as. Has micro guides and I use 30lb power pro and I've had 0 wind knots.
Pros
- many mico guides, light weight, backbone without losing sensitivity, great rod

One of the best cork handle inshore rods I've ever used. Star builds great rods period . Pair this with a new Diawa ballistic 2500Lt and enjoy.

Great rod for the money
September 29, 2017
The seagis is a great rod which I paired up with a shimano sustain 4000 and it handles anything from bass all the way to snook and small tarpon. Also the guides are very nice and the grip is has a very nice feel and is comfortable when fishing.
Pros
- High quality for the money
Cons
- None
