Just wondering what your impressions are on the spiral wrapped starlo tournament rods? I was looking at a 7ft 2-4kg 2 piece verison at my local and seemed like a really decent rod. Any of you guys own or used one of these?

I know the spiral wrap was scrapped so obviously these are old stock but $160 with sic guides can't complain or can you?

Am trying to fit it in between a shimano rack raider (crankbaits/minnows) and pflueger medalist 6'4" 2-4kg (vibs) was thinking of using the starlo for spinnerbaits.

On another topic I thought i'd just edit up the post and add it here. I've basically got no spin rod to speak of at the moment and need to get one basically. What you guys use for resin jig heads and the 1/32oz and 1/16oz jobs? I searched resin jigheads but there's nothing to speak of about rods and the like. I was thinking maybe the pflueger tournament 7'2" 2-4kg spin rod what you's think? Will it fling these weights far enough?

Just bought myself a Starlo too - waiting for delivery.
You should be able to get them down a bit more than $160
Have a look on that MO....Tackle website

I can highly recommend this rod as i own spiral wrap one myself & use it for the same reasons your looking at it for.. Spinnerbaits!! I mainly use 1/4oz to 1/2oz Spinnerbaits on the rod & can throw them as far as i do TN60 jackall with hardly any effort. I doubt you get find a rod that comes close to it for the same money! Buy it while you can!!

I run mine with Daiwa Alphas 103 with 16lb castaway..

At the moment I only own a alphas r edition lefty and am pretty cash strapped so have just been trying to buy rods, reels are easy to come by just not the one I want. Been chasing a Millionaire cv-z 103HL but generally probably got no hope of finding one and would like a lefty pixy that isn't overpriced (friend sold a right hand 03 model for $290) and a shop near me had a lefty for $200 a long time ago :(
