UKPoacher Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 The original Ugly Stik is a cracking rod. Almost unbreakable in normal fishing situations. I use one for spinning and light ledgering off the kayak because if a good fish suddenyl dives under the boat, I know that the rod will take it without snapping at the butt as so many rods would do.

kent Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have had one of the little 5ft ultra light spinning rods about 30 yrs now. Had at leat three fish over 20lb on it, which is just plain freaky as an experiance but it held up ok. As a salmon spinning rod i am not sure they were made over about 8ft which is a bit short for Salmon spinning generally and they are heavy for thier size in comparisom to modern day carbons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonk69 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 according to a friend of mine who has been game fishing in the us for years the uglies are superb, but the rods of the moment which are said to be unbeatable are the snowbee range, tight lines matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulpicide Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 We recently got a couple of Aiwa Shima rods very strong and reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 after my recent experience with a snapped shakespeare fly rod and their woeful attitude from customer services I would suggest steering clear of anything shakespeare! Have a look at a seller on the bay called tackle discounts, he was recommended to me on here and a new fly rod arrived very promptly and for £22.50 delivered I am very pleased with it and not too worried about bashing it...the online reviews compare them to Sage and Loomis rods as well!

Guinea Fowl Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I use the ugly stik rods from my kayak and they are first class, also know of a few charter boats that use them and they rate them top class too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I have 2 Ugly Stiks, one boat and one uptider/spinning rod, both been absolutely brilliant! Taken good fish on both and cannot talk highly enough of them...they are a bit weighty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
