I have the 7' ultralight and lemme tell ya, it's the best ultralight rod I've ever owned. Hands down. It's sensitive and tough as nails. Just the other day after work, I caught 17 smallmouth bass in about 40 mins on the 7' ultralight. Averaging around 3-4 lbs. Now you talk about fun. I've caught trout a plenty ranging from little natives all the way up to a 6lb citation rainbow on it. And I've not even had it a year yet. The guides do great with braided mainline. Casts 1/32oz marabou jigs like a dream. I love this pole. Named her Beatrice. Pick ya one up you won't be disappointed I guarantee it!

Your entire line is the cheapest made garbage I've ever used

Used to love em but the quality in which they use now is in the dumps

Don't waste your money

The ugly stick is just What I wanted, I love ugly stick rods .I have a few different sizes from the smallest to the largest

We host about 170 Campers each summer that use our Ugly Stik Spinning Rods. They are the perfect rod to teach our Campers all the nuances and techniques needed to be successful on the water with their sensitive tips and durability.

This rod shows decent quality control, straight blank and the guides lined up straight, it makes me happy to see an Ugly Stik that way nowadays. The Elite is still a little heavier than most rods, but is still durable and handles fish nicely.
