With a multi-layer constructions process, Van Staal rods offer parabolic strength and lifting power that perfectly compliment our reels. They are specifically designed for saltwater jigging, the hottest trend in fishing. Van Staal rods are built with the highest quality Fuji components, including Alconite and Silicon Nitride II guides for braided line.

They also feature a split-grip EVA handle for balance and lightweight, as well as capped anodized aluminum butts for fishing comfort and secure lock.

Nice rod so far...
May 3, 2021
The rod came in with a slightly bent guide. It's just the last guide which I got it fixed by applying pressure, easy fix. My boss noticed it while I'm unpacking. The box that it came with was damaged, luckily the rod evaded catastrophic damage, that would be very devastating for me because I've been waiting on this rod for more than 3 weeks.

The rod looks great, a bit beefy but I love it. I paired it with a monstrous Penn Slammer III 9500 reel which made it heavy. Great rig for LBSF. I haven't really used it yet, I'm still waiting on the lures I ordered. I'll do a separate review once I get them and go out for offshore fishing.

Pairing with my VM 275 for heavy spinning jigging rod.
September 9, 2018
Light weight for it's size and power. Have it paired with a VM 275 for all my heavy jigging needs. Has big guides which are nice if a big leader knot has to pass through them for some reason.

VJS70-325 Spinning Jig rod
June 10, 2018
Excellent rod. Long enough to be able to cast jigs. But not so long that the rod will beat you up when fighting fish. If you need to cast jigs for pelagics like tuna, THIS is the rod to have. Components are top notch. Rod is wrapped in a nice subdued tone that will fit into any collection you already have. Very nice parabolic bend, with alot of backbone. Very hard to find this combination in other off the shelf rods. Buy it. You will NOT be disappointed.
Pros
  • Top of line components
  • Nice balance
  • obviously thought out rod
Cons
  • None.

I am gonna begin by saying that VanStaal is making a HUGE marketing mistake by not marketing their rods more. The vjs jigging rods in both spinning & conventional can't be beat! They are durable, look good, & kill fish. I have bought rods three times the price of the vjs70-500 rod and still it is the best for big tuna w a spinning reel. Cheers to vanstaal rods.
Pros
  • Durable
  • Looks good
  • Fish killer

Van Staal Made a Great Rod
April 10, 2015
I was on the edge of pairing my large saltwater spinning reel with this rod or a custom. After much review and reading, I decided to try a Van Staal rod. VS's reels are tried and tested while their rods are not nearly as publicized. I will say this much, I am not disappointed. The rod has a lot of strength and fits a large reel very well. It also allows for good castability aside from the jigging aspect.

We currently do not offer the spinning rods in a 500g gram size. The only ones that we carry are the smaller/lighter models.
