Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t find the rod I want. Can I order direct?

Often times, a dealer will assist you in ordering what you need. You can locate a dealer in your area with our Dealer Locator. There are also some dealers that sell Star Rods online so you may search for them using a search engine. Note: Rods purchased from internet auction sites may void the warranty unless the seller is an authorized dealer (see the Dealer Locator for verification). If you are unable to obtain the rod you desire, e-mail us at starrods@seastriker.com or call 252-247-4113, ext. 234.

How do I know what line weight to use?

Most rods will tell you by looking at the number printed on the side. For example, a SG1525ISM would have a line weight of 15-25 lbs. Likewise, a Delux 30/60 would have a line weight of 30-60 lbs.

What rod do I need for this reel?

If you have a spinning rod, of course you would start with a spinning reel - conventional rods with conventional reels. Then look at the line rating for which the reel was designed. Choose a rod that would compliment this line rating.

What is a PowerButt_® ?

The patented Power•Butt is an exclusive Star Rod invention. The Power•Butt is made from a durable composite material that is kind to anglers and mean to fish. Many times tougher than EVA foam, the comfortable Power•Butt is abrasion resistant, lightweight and draws from a rod holder more easily then EVA foam. It is lighter and offers more grip than an aluminum butt while still drawing from a rod holder just as easy.
