Ugly Stik Fishing Rod

Most anglers are familiar with the Ugly Stik rods but may not realize how many different individual models the Ugly Stik line offers. They have rods which are suitable for children as well as freshwater and big water models. Women can even find a stick that suits their needs and physiques with the Lady Stik line of rods.

All of the rods in the Ugly Stik line are capable of the famous Shakespeare trademark: they can each be bent into a circle so that the tip of the rod touches the butt. This shows you the extreme flexibility and strength that this line of rods gives you.

When using any of the Ugly Stik fishing rods, you don’t need to worry about the tip breaking nor do you need to worry about giving up sensitivity in the name of strength. The Ferruless design on all of these two-piece rods is excellent because it combines the receptivity of a one-piece rod with the portability and storage benefits of a collapsible rod. Now, travelling with your rod does not mean that you need to give up your sense of feel and control.

If you are someone who likes a choice of rod lengths, the Ugly Stik line will not disappoint you here either. They range from the 2’2” SPL 1100 22 Spinning Rod with a lightweight action capable of running a 2-6 pound test line to the mammoth SPL 1100 90 model which spans nine feet in length. This model of spinning rod can accommodate anywhere from a 4 to 20 pound test line and lures ranging from 1/8 to ¾ ounces and is a medium action rod.

Shakespeare has decided to design and manufacture the highest quality and most versatile graphite rods of any on the market. Although originally the rods were a composite of several different materials, the Ugly Stick fishing rod went to 100% graphite in the 1990’s and has continued to build on its reputation of excellence.

One feature that only adds to the strength of these rods is the fact that the blanks extend through the handles. This not only increases the strength (no worries about the blank snapping off at the handle here) but also allows you to feel the vibrations fish cause through the length of the handle.

If you are fortunate enough to use an Ugly Stik fishing rod, you will quickly notice the strength and flexibility that all of these rods have. Whether it is because of the fully graphite shaft or the Clear Tip design of the blank, you will find that this is one of the best rods on the market today.
