On the higher end like reel you cant go wrong with the star rod 7ft mediums . the vpr rod is a beast all around jigging and would be great for eels. Casting jigs. And the lower cost stars in same action perfomend very well live lining throwing eels too cobias for me. My best was 60lb cobia and that rod 7ft medium heavy with 4000 stradic. Van stal matched with the vpr would be a great match. No need for higher end rod once you put a vpr in your hand you will love it flounder wreck tossing jigs soft tip dam near unbreakable. I couldn't recommend anything other to put with it. Get the cheaper stars for other guests on your boat or if you can afford to outfit them by all means outfit your boat they will give you a deal on more then one. Talk to mananger.good fishing
I would have to say the star rods are excellent. I bought a two piece 10' star rod which I got right away shipped in a super strong tube. Love the rod and Tackle directs service.
