The Cedros is more expensive than the Solaris, and some fishermen and women seem to think that this is because it’s of a higher quality. This is myth. The Cedros is made of 30-ton carbon whereas the Solaris is built on IM-6 graphite blanks. The guides are somewhat the same, having been made of stainless steel both in the case of one and in the case of the other. The Solaris has a cork grip and its counterpart features a non-slip rubber tube handle to which a tapered rear grip has been added. You can hold both poles just as comfortably. The Cedros we’ve analyzed is somewhat shorter but versatile in that it measures 10 feet, whereas the Solaris we took a look at was 12-ft long. So, if you’ll be fishing for redfish, black tip sharks, or 40lb rays, you should go for the Cedros. The Solaris offers excellent results for the same species, but also if you’re targeting sturgeon, for instance.
