Calstar rods have taken more big tuna over 200 pounds than all other manufacturer's products combined...by a 3 to 1 margin (San Diego Sportfishing Council from 1998-2000).  They have earned respect from the most demanding of anglers, the guys hitting the long range 10-20 day trips.  Calstar blanks are the top choice among custom rod builders, because their actions are right-on-the-money, and the quality and consistency is excellent.  Calstar Fishing Rods are uncompromising in terms of quality. That comes at a price.  But, for many anglers the price is worth the end result.  The end result is excellence, simply put. 

Calstar's founder Leon Todd has dedicated his life to building quality fiberglass and composite fishing rods and blanks. From his early years at Roddy Rods, to his days of designing rod blanks for California Tackle (Sabre) and now as owner of Calstar, Leon's primary market has been the discriminating saltwater angler. When anglers worldwide need the best, they come to Calstar. Leon listens to his angling customers and makes changes and adds new models to his line to continuously improve and provide the customer with the product that meets their needs. Leon credits the many outstanding professionals as well as thousands of fine anglers in the Southern California area for their input and support.

CharkBait is proud to offer our clients Calstar products, some of the finest fishing rods money can buy.  We're stocking both their Grafighter series and the West Coast Series of factory built rods.  We will also be stocking some blanks, and of course have access to all blanks produced by this firm.  I'll be posting the blanks within the next few weeks.  

The Grafighters are the new standard in fishing.  They're made from both fiberglass and graphite, throughout their length.  The result is a lighter stick, quicker responding, very good durability, and they effectively help you fight a fish by virtue of their action.  These rods are triple wrapped, black blank with seafoam color wrap.  The rods feature stainless steel conventional guides or AFTCO rollers.  

Orders may be placed on-line (Securely) or by phone or fax. Just click on the BUY! link below and your new rod will be added to your shopping cart.  You can also reach us by email or phone  from 9AM to 7PM M-F and 9-3 Saturday (800-823-4243), fax 714-846-0032.
