tentonner Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Looking at buying a new rod to match with a Stradic 3000 and 10lb braid, chasing bream on sps and bait and also the odd rat king in the summer the tackle shop recommended the Starlo Stix Tournament Pro Litespin which did feel like a real nice rod but didn't want to spend the money until i'd found out some more about them Anybody got one of these? or got a recommendation for a similar style of rod? Thanks in advance raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachAngler Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The rod is great, just drop the line down to 6lb braid and your looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micksfishn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 that sort of money id be lookn at the flueger trion range and drop your reel size to 1000-2000 with 4 lbs braid as long as your knots are perfect you will land rat kings and salmon on this outfit no probs just might take a while will put you to the test mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy stu Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Only thing to look at is the newer starlo sticks coming out dont have fuji guides, whereas most other brands out now will come with alconites. I reakon they are a nice rod, and if looking at shimano raider I would go for one of these for not much more $ (if at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I just Love my Tournament Pro!! Got it teamed up with a 1000 Shimano & 4lb braid - the 3000 may be a bit big for it? Cheerio Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
