I've been using a number of these rods over the last three years and I've been very happy with them. They handle load very well and can take abuse. I think these and Tsunami rods are the best value for the dollar.

I use these rods for rockfishing and sometimes yellowtail, and they are sensitive and durable. And you can easily buy multiples of these because of the low price tag. Ugly Stiks have never let me down, and this one is no exception.

been using the one on my boat as a spare for guests for a while now, but back in the day before i had to buy my own gear (thank you pops) she was a true bull of a rod. 5lb Fluke, ya got it. 15-20lb bluefish, ya got it. 25+ striper, ya got it. Amazing pricing on these too.

its just a great rod. you really cant go wrong. last forever.

Best rod for the money. Enough said. You will not regret your purchase. Follow me on instagram @oneguapo

Well, since Shakespeare has "screwed the pooch" with the new GX2 Ugly Stiks, making them cheap feeling and completely dropping certain rod models. When you BLEED Ugly Stik. Ya gotta make the switch. So I went ALL Tiger rod for my bottom fishing rods. I prefer this 7' model because of the light tip, but heavy butt section. 40-50 pound fish NO problems, but a 2-3 pounder still FUN.

The name is well known, and the products are not bought often enough. When you want quality the buck stops here. I have and use 10 Ugly Stiks. I fish for large fresh water catfish, and also do a lot of salt water fishing also. There are very few products that rival the abilities of the ugly stik, and the ones that do cost a ton more. If you are looking for the best rod for the price look no further!!!

I have had the medium action tiger rod rated for 20 - 50 lb line. This rod is a beast! Had a Penn 112h on it. Used it for pier fishing in Florida for 7 years and never disappointed.Many fish and years later and its being used for giant catfish in the Midwest. Perfect combination for them as well.
