It can cast a mile while also helping you feel even the lightest of strikes when paired with light braid fishing line (I used 10 lb PowerPro).Īnd the power level is great for handling redfish, snook, and seatrout of all sizes. This Star Seagis spinning rod is a quality lightweight rod that has great feel and power for targeting redfish, snook, seatrout, etc. Less length in the top section for casting for a typical 7’6″ rod.Butt section is a bit too long (tough for kayak fishing).Very lightweight (great for lots of casting).Here’s a quick list of pros and cons that I’ve noticed so far after using this spinning rod to fish the flats for redfish, snook, and seatrout.
Note: This one in particular had a split-grip handle… click here to see the details of it in Amazon.
Star makes a very large amount of rods so they have a TON of options to choose from.Īfter checking a group of them out at Bass Pro Shops, I decided that the 7’6″ HE17 version felt best for my preferences.
