The length, power, and action should handle almost any inshore or nearshore species outside of extremely large pelagic species and/or fishing in and around very heavy cover such as bridge pilings, etc. This rod would match great with almost any inshore size reel available from the major brands but really shines with 4-5000 size reels. Overall the rod has been great and was much lighter than the offerings from other competitors. The upside is the awesome balance and control provided when fighting larger fish and using the extra long forward grip. This may be a con when working certain types of lures, specifically topwater plugs but the benefits outweight this small con. My only con for the rod is the rather long butt section with is roughly 1.5-2' longer than some other brands comparable rods. The rod is rated for 1/2 to 1.5 ounce lures and easily casts 1/4 and 3/8 ounce lures with the light tip. The rod has a very light tip for casting and tons of backbone. The Star Stellar Lite Split Grip is extremely light and balanced and comes equipped with Fuji guides and very nice cork grips throughout the handle section. Every other medium power or medium heavy power rod ended up being very tip heavy with my new Stradic. Medium/Heavy Fast Action and the rod and reel balanced out beautifully. After fitting the reel onto multiple rods from various major brands, I came across the Star Stellar Lite Split Grip series. Although super light for its size, I find pairing 4-5000 size reels difficult at times to find a great match with as opposed to the standard 2500-3000 size inshore reels. Recently picked up the new Shimano Stradic FL 5000 spinning reel and found some trouble pairing it to a new rod.
