Good all purpose
Tough durable rod fit my Penn spin caster perfectly. A little heavy but itâs worth it cause it gets hard use.

Very Affordable rods where the Plus may outweigh the minus.
I break a lot of rods and rod tips and in general am fairly hard on my equipment. These are stout rods. I bought the 7 medium one piece and 7 MH 2 piece. Rod top section where the tip can sometimes break appears to be fiberglass 2 inch portion which will make it stronger so we will see. The rods barely pass as bass rods and are more like catfish rods but I am using for bass. I don’t seem to see much difference between the one and two piece. The 2 piece MH is fairly stiff and I am using it as a kayak punch rod. The one piece MH is less of a crank bait rod and more of a chatterbait, spinnerbait or large lipless rod which is nice and will be what I use it for. Rod construction is what you expect from ugly. The plus side to the rods is they appear that they will last a long time. The rods are very inexpensive. The minus side is workable but. The rods are very heavy, possibly twice as heavy as the diawa corssfire or shimano sojurn, but only for certain applications. The second nock are the old school foam grips which really weight the rod down and are a bit larger in diameter that the standard cork. This is why it feels like a catfish rod. I have attempted to sand down the grips on one to see if I can get a better feel for a bass rod. If you buy inexpensive rods because you are hard on them and break a bunch. You have found your rod.

Great fishing rod
This is one of my favorite rods for its performance. It’s small and easy to travel with but can still cast some distance. Casting with one hand with is feels amazing. Strong and sensitive.

Great rod!
I fish this rod all the time off the jetty in Corona Del Mar. Iâve caught plenty of mackerel, calico bass, bonito and barracuda on it. Light weight for the length and lots of sensitivity. I had it paired with a Kastking baitcaster but the drag on the Kastking wasnât stiff enough so I put my Penn Fathom 15 star drag on it. The reel is overpowered for the rod but it does great for what I fish for on the jetty. Would buy again!

New version of an already great & popular rod
Right off the bat(I mean rod) this thing speaks of innovation and style you would expect from just the name alone. What caught my eye, at first, was the shortened and grip enhancing handle. Add stainless steel guides and a spongey for-grip plus medium action/fast tapered tip. Well, what are you waiting for?

It’s an Ugly Stik
Typical for Ugly Stik rods, it is very well made, strong and just what I was looking for.

This is one terrific rod. A bit pricy but, if you want quality, this is the rod for you.

One of the best value/Price rod. I have many fishing rods. This one is for everyday. I compared it with my Kastking. They both have different elements that makes one better then the other. This one works very well for trolling aswell.
