In Reply to: Ugly Stick. Any comments on this pole? posted by Ted
: I have been extremely fortunate that I have not had to buy any fishing equipment except for a few things I wanted, like my mooching reels and some cheap light bass equipment. My uncle retired from fishing and gave a ton of equipment.I lost one of my better poles and reels in the January 1st fiasco and I will be looking at a new pole. I am very good at making equipment work that others laugh at. I took my kmart/walmart shakespeare 6-12lb spinning set up on a twilight sand bass party boat and out fished everyone on the boat in number of fish landed. One of the fishermen on the way out laughed at my pole and asked "who brought the kid's pole?" My children can tell you about days at Pyru from the aluminum rental boats catching 20+ sunfish in a couple hours, with bass in the mix, using closed faced Zebcos.My point is that I am trying to figure out if saving a few bucks with an Ugly Stick is worth it. They are half the price of the Seeker rods.Thanks for any help.-Ted
Fisherman like that the guy that you went out with make me love my dog more, cause he don't talk.
Ugly sticks are a good rod for the price and they come in all actions. You'll get more out of one for the dollar then a seeker, orlamiglas, or st croix or any other pricey brand. I have been wrappen rods for a few years and would buy uglystixs in bulk at a discount to wrap. and what I payed for ten U.S. you only get one pricey one. so if I lost it didn't hurt to bad.
There is another one called a wuppin stick,about the same as the ugly stick.
I say go with the ugly stick, its fish you want not comments on a pricey rod.
