I love ugly sticks... I use them for light tackle, plugging, chunking, live-lining, and sometimes surfcasting.... very strong rods and can take a beating.

I have my biggest surf caught bass on an ugly stick (10ft 2piece) and my father in law just caught a 6lb fluke on a 5' 6" ugly stick with 8lb fireline. I can't really complain about them, however I don't use them for the surf anymore.

I buy higher end rods now but ugly sticks still hang in the shed and get used. The only ugly stick failure I have had was a car door...Arg.

You can ride ugly stiks down the stairs. A little heavy for old shoulders, but great rods. And the price you got....

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Yeah - I got my son a six-foot Ugly Stick at Wally-World last week - it was cheaper than what my wholesaler had it for.
