New Pond Star Gear in The Shop
Vintage Sturgeon Rods Have Arrived
Some truly special rods have just hit the Pond Stars rack. Recent acquisitions include custom Harnell rods, classic Sabre models, and a premium Calstar setup - many originally built for California's sturgeon and saltwater fisheries. These rods represent a level of craftsmanship that's hard to find today, with quality components and custom builds designed to last a lifetime.
Whether you're looking for a bank rod for sturgeon, a heavy-duty boat rod, or simply appreciate vintage California tackle, these rods are worth a closer look. Collections like this don't stay on the rack for long, so stop by and see them while they're still available.
Brand-New Reels at Used Gear Prices
One of the surprises of the Pond Stars program is how often nearly new gear finds its way into the shop. Recently, we acquired several collections that included premium reels from Penn, Shimano, and Daiwa that appear to be unused—or barely used at all.
Because these reels came through our used gear program, they have to be sold as used, even when they're still in the box or look brand new. That means anglers can find significant savings on popular models like the Shimano Stradic, Daiwa Saltist and BG, Penn Slammer, and more.
If you've been looking to upgrade your setup without paying full retail, now is a great time to stop by and see what's available. Deals like these rarely stay on the shelf for long.
