11 foot Starlo Stix
Submitted by Colin Hay on Tue, 2008-01-29 11:15
Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had a look at the 11 foot Starlo Stix spin rod. Haven't seen oje yet, but it sounds like a handy piece to add to the collection,
All the best Colin Hay

yeah man, same as the 9' but
yeah man,
same as the 9' but a little fatter where it starts to taper and obviously, a little longer :P
I went for a Penn Spinfisher 10' Surf Game though...
Just as light, but handles a cast weight of 3-6 ounces, and a line weight of 30lb

Good one Ben
I guess it is a lot like the Starlo Stix.

Yeah well, I have the 9'
Yeah well, I have the 9' too, nothing wrong with them, very good rod, but it is on the light end.. weights up to 40 grams... so I dont think that good for bait hehe
Tis why I bought the spinfisher, I wnated something as close to the starlo as possible, in weight and feel, but also robust enough to handle heavier line and cast weights.

I have 9 foot Starlo too
Great rod (though I have to send mine back to get a problem fixed). I just need something with a bit more grunt and size for certain situations. Exactly as Rickets suggests.
All the best Colin Hay
