I have fresh and salt Ugly Stiks for my daughters. The salt are 6', on with a penn 4500ss and the other with a 450ssg. The fresh came with shakespear reels that are good enough as I don't do a lot if fresh stuff.....mostly just to kick around a pond if I'm on the cape and need some quick entertainement for them....
Of course because they belong to my daughters they both sport pink line....lmao!!!
Plus I've sent in several times and got those tackle bags they sometimes offer. Those things are great!!!!!

But I just went to Wally world and bought the same rod I bought 15 years ago for $50 now for $29!  |

Had mine about 3 years. Had some problems with the plastic rings coming out of the guides, but aside from that, it's a pretty good rod; casts well,
has good response with almost any size fish.

I bought a cheap ugly stick set-up at wally world for freshwater when I was camping in NY like 4 years ago, the thing is awesome, I've caught a lot of largemouths and even some holdover keeper sized striper on it, I've abused the hell out of it too and it's held up great, awesome rod, maybe I should get another one!

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Thought you might like a follow up!
So far this week the kids are putting an awful bend in the ugly sticks! They are hammering 8-10 pound blues on the ugly sticks on BigFish topwater ammo and they are having a ball! My youngest weighed in a 10 pounder....he was thrilled....so was Dad! Their friend Kevin, who is along for the trip, caught his first saltwater fins ever and hooked up with his first bluefish....a nine pounder, and several more!! He is hooked now! Best 40.00 bucks I have spent all season!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
