The Ultimate Inshore Setup—Built to Outperform, Engineered to Take a Beating.
Meet the Stono Inshore Rod & Reel Combo—a perfectly paired setup combining our toughest rod with our most durable reel. Designed to punch well above its weight, this combo delivers the strength, balance, and reliability needed to handle serious inshore fishing—and the real-world abuse that comes with it.
The Stono Inshore Rod is built around near-unbreakable blanks that don’t just perform—they endure. This is a rod made for how anglers actually fish: tossed in truck beds, stepped on in the boat, slammed in hatches, or even caught in a car door. While no rod is indestructible, the Stono is engineered to withstand the kind of everyday abuse that snaps tips, cracks guides, and ends trips early with lesser gear. Reinforced components and rugged construction mean fewer worries and more time fishing.
Matched with rubber cork grips and a salt-tough rear-locking reel seat, the rod stays comfortable and secure in your hands, no matter the conditions.
Paired with the rod is the Stono Inshore Reel, built to thrive in harsh saltwater environments. Its carbon fiber body and rotor keep it lightweight yet incredibly strong, while a fully sealed IPX5 system with seven internal seals, plus a sealed drag and handle, protect against salt, sand, and corrosion. This is a reel you don’t have to baby—it’s made to fish hard, day after day.
Finished with a classic cork handle knob, the combo blends old-school feel with modern, high-performance engineering.

Most rods meet their end in a boat hatch or a car door, not on a fish. The Stono Inshore Rod is engineered with near-unbreakable blanks and reinforced components specifically to survive the "oops" moments. From truck bed tosses to deck slams, this is high-performance gear built for the real-world abuse of salt life.
MADE FOR THE EVERYDAY ANGLER.
A rod that works as hard as you do.
The Stono Inshore Rod is built for the everyday working angler—the kind of rod that gets tossed in truck beds, knocked around on boat decks, and used hard without a second thought. Its near-unbreakable blank and reinforced construction are designed to handle real-world abuse, from stepped-on guides to slammed hatches. It’s not delicate gear—it’s dependable, no-nonsense equipment you can count on trip after trip.
SEALED FOR SALT. TUNED FOR PERFORMANCE.
Saltwater is relentless, but the Stono Inshore Reel is built to handle it head on. With a fully sealed IPX5 system and seven internal seals, along with a sealed drag and handle, this reel is designed to block out salt, sand, and grit that destroy lesser gear. The result is consistent, smooth performance trip after trip, without the maintenance headaches. Whether you are wading the flats or fishing tight to structure, you can count on a reel that keeps working as hard as you do.

Biggest bull red to date on the new stono combo! Nothing but good things to say about every single Toadfish rod/reel, knife set, oyster knife, shrimp tools, cutting boards….we have it ALL! You guys rock!

Now that’s a bull red! 🎣 What a catch! That smile says it all! Thank you for being such an awesome Toadfish fan and for sharing the photo. We’re thrilled to be part of your adventures!
Anyone doubting the ability of these when it comes to big fish can stop doubting, I can’t make a comment on longevity as this is the first time I have ever used them, but as for strength and smoothness the 7.6 foot medium paired with a 4k and toadfish 30lb braid did absolutely phenomenal against this 39 inch probably around 25lb cobia
