Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Fishing Rod

I have 6’6 2-pc medium. Lively, sensitive and has a great feel.

Please, for the love of God, put packing in the boxes. The rods eyelets bend. Mine wasn't in perfect condition but I easily bent the eyelets back. The action is a bit stiff, it casts pretty far even with light weights. I prefer the 2pc over 1 just because I like to keep my rods inside my truck and it fits better in 2. I am a life long customer of this company and I appreciate the value for the money with a quality rod. It's my first Elite series and first medium rod, we'll see how she works out.

6’6” medium size. Amazing rod, no problems whatsoever. Casts great. Little bit on the softer side, but works great for average size bass and Mayan chiclid fishing. Hooked up with a huge needlenose gar, handled it great. Not the lightest rod, but well balanced with a Kastking royale legend 3000 reel and 12lb braid. Liked the red lacing just above the handle, great looking combo. Speaking of the handle, great quality cork. Used U40 cork sealant and holds up great.

This is no way a professional rod but for everyday beater and it is TOUGH they are known for durability and accidents to happen and they make a really good product. My wife purchased the gx2 with the foam grips and I love cork so I went with this one and its great. only gripe would be the reel seat and cork had squeaking going onwhen I hooked a fish easy rememdy was some 2 part epoxy and some thread (it was at the bottom of the reel seat and the end cork. fixed the issue very quickly and easily. still I would buy another or another length or size when I feel the need to add to my arsenal of fishing rods. great everyday product!

I have it paired with a KastKing Sharky III spincast reel (3500 size), which might be slightly too big for this pole because the line brushes against the first eyelet too much, but doesn't prohibit good casts. Using braided 30lb test on it. Using it mostly for top water and light spinner baits.Cons: the top half will twist after a few casts so you have to keep re-seating it.Pros: Perfect for top water, small spinners, and worms. Has a great feel to it. Very light weight and strong. Definitely hits above it's weight class.

Very light weight but tough. Casts smoothly with little effort. Nice comfortable grip. Very well balanced. Perfect mid-size rod for regular lakeside or seaside fishing. Good action, ultra sensitive. This will be my ultimate go-to rod. It makes fishing feel easier than it should be, even when landing heavier fish. I’ll be purchasing another one in the near future.

I do a lot of surf fishing and recently decided to get into inshore fishing, specifically bass. I purchased this rod on recommendation from a family member as a perfect beginner rod and so far I must agree. First thing I noticed when opening it up was how light this is, thought it would be brittle but it has a very nice flex to it.Took it out fishing at a local spot with a simple Texas rig and was surprised by how sensitive it is. I could feel when I was hitting a rock or weeds but most importantly I could feel the nibbles and bites. Sadly due to my over eagerness to snap the rod back I broke the line when I first got a bite.Overall after just a couple hours with this rod I am very pleased with it and would definitely recommend this from a beginners point of view.

UPDATE: Glad to see seller has updated the info within the listing to be correct with what you get.Sorta upset about this purchase from this seller. I purchased this item specifically because it's supposed to be a 2pc rod and withing the action and lure weight I specifically needed in a rod....as said multiple times throughout the info description etc this is a 2pc rod being sold. It is NOT a 2pc rod but a ONE PIECE rod. It's almost physically impossible for me to get to a lot of my fishing areas with a 7ft one piece rod. 2pc is doable but I've tried 6ft one pieces and struggled greatly. The thing I do not get is that I received 2 fishing rods when nothing is mentioned about 2 rods being sold in this add. So where as I'm not sure if I can complain I got 2 rods withing the actions and weight I needed but the fact I can't use them in over half of my fishing spots is extremely upsetting. I needed that 2pc rod and so on that note I can't help but be highly peeved....I needed this rod this weekend as a replacement to a different rod I broke pulling in an unexpected hawg. Really wish the seller was honest in the info they put into their selling and at this point I should have just purchased locally and now will end up spending more money to do so in the end. Overall the rod itself appears to be of decent construction but I can't speak on how it handles. These rods I feel would be good pond and open river rods but sadly I don't have a boat and going through woods to get to secluded bank spots. Wish I could give more than one star review but I can't give a good rating because of the false advertising within about the rod being a 2piece rod.
