## Description

Ugly Stik has designed this series specifically for catfish. All Ugly Stik rods feature the Ugly Stik Clear Tip for sensitivity, Ugly Tech construction for toughness and durability and Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless steel guides. Fishing has gotten too pretty. Unscratched sparkle barges with nuclear-powered engines. Rods that act like skittish thoroughbreds instead of unshod workhorses. Fish pictures taken for ‘likes' instead of refrigerator doors. It's time to fish the way it's meant to be done, with tough, durable tackle built to provide ten whopper fish pics for every one of some dandy holding a fancy rod and a fingerling. It's time to fish ugly.

Review: Impressed - Don't let the price fool ya. Very nice casting rod in the Graphite / glass 8ft 2-piece 15-30 lb class. Flexible tip section with nice smooth overall bend when fully loaded with 10 lbs. 8 guides plus the tip is a sign of the higher priced rods. Not 5 guides like you see on the other cheaper overseas rods. These new guides are bullet proof. No more inserts to pop out. All one piece stainless. If the gimble but turns you off well that's not a deal breaker. They make all types of gimble but caps for about $3 to $4 bucks if that's what you got to have. Have not fished it yet on the salt water bridges here in Fla. that's why 4 stars. I will put it through the test. Been fishing for 60 years, if loaded with 20-25 lb test and my Penn 140 or 146 squidder should be a winner and a great caster and definitely not just for catfish. Always use a bridge gaff or bridge net to bring the big ones up. Seen to many $100+ rods broken that way. Besides the 7 year warranty its a ugly stick always reliable. Aug. 13th update. It casts much better with the 3 oz weight its rated for loaded with 20 lb mono. Probably will handle more. The pole is on the stiffer side but very sensitive. Remember what its designed for Weight and Bait. For all you one piece pole fanatics out there with today's technology the two piece become one unit and still bends smoothly. All my Ugly Stik's are two piece some are over 25 years old never broke one. My Ugly Stk "Tigers" Spin and Conventional both two piece, they stand right up to my old deep sea poles that are heavy one piece. 30lb groupers are no match. Most poles one or two piece are broken when loaded past its rating with drag seized up.. Don't go over 30 lb braid if pole is max rated at 30 lb. Make sure drag is working properly. Got a 40+ lb Black Tip after an 3/4 hour of fight. This rod proved itself as a reliable pole with my 140 Squidder. The bend was scary at times with it in my rod but holster. No sounds or signs of cracking or stress. Now its 5 stars.
Review: Great overall rod - So i own 2 of these paired with kastking kastan reels which are awesome by the way. So i needed some good catfish rods, bigger than what i had. I bought these a few months ago. I have caught over 200 fish on these. 20 over 20 pounds and one 35 pounder. And as asmall as 8 inches. These rods are great. On the big fish you have plenty of backbone to fight them in heavy current, but sensiutive and light enough to get a descent fight out of a 2 pounder. The action is fast enough that the rods flex softly so the finicky fish still get caught. I solely bank fish and pier fish. I really lijke these rods i was unsure at first due to the size, but no i love them. I caught an angry flathead friday that weighed 25 pounds. This rod handled hium with ease. He was asetious runner and fighter and did not quit. The 35 pound blue cat i caught recently also was a hard fighter and just plain heavy. This rod worked awesome. The reel seat has not moved, they fight great with big and small fish, not heavy at all for the size, and well they are ugly stiks. Just but them. Great rods overall anyone complaing is just a whiner.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes it a catfish rod?**
A: It has plenty of backbone and a soft tip, catfish can be big, but sometimes are finicky. So the soft tip, and plenty of strength works out well! As far as my Missouri friend, I live in South Carolina, and hunt gators during season. This is my favorite pole and have caught several over 500 lbs?? I wanna catch some of your 30# cats that this pole can’t handle!

**Q: Is the 8’ an effective rod from shore for reservoirs?**
A: Depending on your reel, 8 ft. Is more than adequate. I use this with an Ambassadeur reel and it is absolutely killer.

**Q: can this be used with a spinning reel?**
A: They come in two versions. Casting and spinning. The spinning have larger guides for the reel to cast effectively. I have the casting version does well with 3 oz weight. Very sensitive rod

**Q: Some say one piece some say two piece which is it?**
A: 2 piece is good for travel...but 1 piece is much stronger and reliable to me...
