Elite Spinning Rod

“Be warned if you plan to use braid with this rod.”

“ugly stick is great reliable af also they have great warranty if anything happens”

“love my elie - however the cork handle is coming aparr it doesnt look like solid cork but just a veneer”

“Okuma just feel better to me”

“both are *excessively* heavy compared to a good quality rod”

“a great affordable rod for treble hook baits.”

“Every Ugly stik ive ever owned had O backbone. They are good for beginner fishermen, but once you take the training wheels off Go invest in some good equipment.”

“they’re durable and affordable but after that they’re pretty weak. They feel super heavy and stiff and they’re not remotely as sensitive as other rods in the same weight.”

“IT will not snap it will handle anything you can catch”

“I fished ugly sticks for years. Plug casting with spinning rods. The only trouble I had was on 2 occasions the tip snapped right behind the tip guide.”

“I’ve been using the 8 1/2 foot version for a couple years. Like someone said on here it’s very whippy. It’s my least favorite rod at the moment.”

“Ugly Stiks are legit.”

“I'm not a fan of ugly sticks these days my favorite rods recently are 13 fishing rods especially the omen silver,black.”

“That AK47 of fishing rods”

“All in all, if you are looking for a fairly versatile and multifunctional rod for an affordable price, this one is definitely worth taking a look at.”

“have all ready had to replace the tip eyes because of line grooving , this will be last 2 ugly stiks i purchase”

“I’m an animal with my rods and only ugly stik’s have held up.”

“It is a decent rod, I mainly use it for carp fishing. It can cast 1 ounce sinkers fine and I appreciate the length for casting distance.”

“For the money, its an amazing all around freshwater rod.”

“My current Medium rods are an ugly stick elite and daiwa retros combo. Neither of them are very good.”

“Ugly Stiks are tanks for durability but you definitely give up some sensitivity compared to an Okuma.”

“I do think the Elite series is good, but if you're looking for sensitivity buy something else.”

“The ugly stick blasphemy needs to be stopped immediately”

“my biggest complaint is the blank has no recommended line & lure weights printed on the rods”
