Ugly StikBigwater Spinning Fishing Rod

Good rod, 15ft. long two piece. I like the ugly stick because it doesn't have porcelain eyes. The eyes want came apart, like so many others. Ps I also have two 11ft. rods , two piece.very well made.

Haven’t caught anything with it yet, but it looks battle ready. The colors look great. Nice sized eyelets make it easy to string line. Hopefully it’ll perform as good as my other Ugly Stik rod.

WOW! is all I can say. The rod and the customer service is awesome.

This is such an awesome Rod. It’s lightweight and very, very strong.

Had These for a few weeks now. Had a chance to put them through the wringer.Pros:-Excellent value: I paid over $100 for a comparable Penn rod that in my opinion is not better.-Rod is sturdy. I wing 6oz Sputnik sinkers with whole finger mullet, rod handles it no problem.-great casting distance with 7500lc Penn.-tip is sensitive enough to see light bites, but rod is sturdy enough to battle huge fish. I have a 12’ Penn rod that is too stiff, which often causes me to miss light bites or reel in whiting I have had hooked forever and are dead when I reel in to check baits, never knowing they are there. The uglystick does not suffer this flaw.Cons:-only real complaint I have is the distance between grips on the pole. The distance is great if you want to wing a bait as far as you can without much concern of accuracy. However, when you are trying to do a more controlled cast, it’s too much distance between the grips. In addition, since there is polished blank Between the grips, choking up isn’t an option. When the blank is wet, it’s like trying to hold onto a wet fish if you try to choke up. You can feel your hand struggle to stay on the pole and control is impossible. Aesthetically pleasing as this look is, running the grip the whole length would alleviate this issue.-grip is slightly too fat for rod holders in my cart. Pulls the rubber rings off the top. Small potatoes, though.

This rod will pull a small beluga whale no problem!!I once hooked on a blue whale and fight it for six hours and my line snapped, not the rod. I’m pretty sure ninjas used those back in the day.All jokes aside, it’s very well built and gets you the action that every fisherman’s looks for

This is a big boy! I got the 12' surf rod, as I over-ordered and acquired a 10,000 series reel and just figured I'd marry it up with this tool, in case I ever got a hankering to go out and catch the Sasquatch of the Seas sometime. I'll slap a little of that overpriced braid on this bad boy and then go back to shopping for something a little more practical & reasonable. :)

Have always used these "Ugly Stik Rods" with good success for saltwater fishing. GREAT RODS!! I was Shocked to see that this rod was shipped in a plastic sleeve...zero protection!! 3 of 6 line guides were bent out of alignment. I sure hope Amazon will address this lack of shipping protection for items like fishing rods in the future. Simply kept the rod to avoid the return hassles...chances are the second rod would have been be shipped in the same manner.
