Star Handcrafted Rods are built around custom-built blanks, with many models featuring advanced Duratech Technology. By combining multidirectional graphite with a specialized epoxy, Duratech blanks deliver increased sensitivity, lifting power, and overall toughness, along with added durability when the rod is stressed or overbent. Each blank is tuned with a specific graphite-to-epoxy ratio to achieve the ideal balance of action, weight, strength, and long-term durability. These rods are hand-assembled with premium Fuji guides and reel seats, accented with signature diamond wraps. Many models include the patented PowerButt and nearly all feature Star Rods’ exclusive PowerPatch. This level of craftsmanship qualifies Star Handcrafted Rods for a limited lifetime warranty.
