there are the ones academy sells, but I cant find any specs really on this particular series of rods.

The one I got is a 7' rod and the model number is ACL PMH...

is it a medium heavy rod? I was just wondering the tip action.

Fast action. Some are made in China and some All Stars are not. Unless it says differently, all All Stars are default fast tip.

the academy in arlington had all stars for like $24. heck even if they are chinese... thats cheap. I have g loomis rods and falcon Caras. I had one of the original all stars and loved it. I have also had one of the "Shakespeare" All stars and it broke, but i caught 2 bass that year over 10. The rod actually broke from being stepped on. The cheap all stars are still worth the money. I was noticing that they are fishing style specific now too. I bought me a $24 Crankin Stick. Try it out.

Yes they are worth it. They are light and seem to be well built. And $24 is hard to pass.

OK, I just did a search "Google" for All-Star rods and it showed that Target was selling AllStar rods. Not sure if this is true or not??????

I bought an All Star about a month ago at Academy and it broke on the first trip on a cast. Took it back with the receipt and they credited my card.
