Spoodge6 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) G'day people,Been looking for a light plastics rod to match to my Soron 2000 9 (6lb braid) as it currently has a 3-5kg Soron rod on it which is probably a bit heavy for breaming and flathead chasing on the flats.. Seen the above rod at half price at a certain daily Shimano discount site. Looks about right for the light stuff but thought I would get some opinions on it as there are no reviews around. PM me if you want the site to get yourself one, thanks. Edited July 2, 2013 by Spoodge6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'd match the Soron to a Pflueger Patriarch rod, great balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoodge6 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Spent a lot on fishing gear the last couple of months so the $64 price tag attracted me most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM79 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 In my opinion the Starlo STP series went downhill when they decided to downgrade all the components to lower the cost, I would not recommend them. If you want something good at a decent price I would look at the Pflueger Trion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibodfisho Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have owned one for a few years and it is a great blade rod and it must be tough as I have not broken it yet. Have landed my pb flathead on 3 Pnd trace so it has a cushiony action and gets used as my back up flats bream rod. It is not as sensitive as some other mid range rods but at $64 I would even consider getting a spare Cheers Gibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthmonger Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Love my Starlo. I had a 2-4 Trion beforehand and this rod is about on par with it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
