Ugly stick elite spinning
July 21, 2022
This is a very good looking rod and has held up very well for me. The only thing i have to say that is negative would be the weight it is somewhat heavier than other brand rods in comparable size. I use this rod mainly for fishing live bait and it does very good.

Good to Start

Very surprised that these aren't more expensive considering how well made these are for the low price. Definitely recommended for anyone starting out or on a budget. 7'6" spinning rod has worked great for most light / medium applications in PA freshwater.
Pros
- Price
Cons
- n/a

MH rod

Lightweight with good rod action. Throw on a smaller reel and catch freshwater largemouth bass, throw on a bigger reel for 40in stripers. Very versatile.
Pros
- ligtweight
- inexpensive
Cons
- Guides may oxidize

Not so ugly

Cork handle is an upgrade from eva. Strong and reliable. Only complaint really (for the 7'6") is the weight. Exhausting to cast artificials all day with it. Pair with a good reel to balance tbe weight.

Durable Little Rod
March 11, 2016
I have been using the 5'6 rod for little stream and river fishing for a while now and love it. Unlike some of my more expensive rods i do not have to worry about snapping the tip off on a try limb and being out a ton of $$$. Performs well and i love the cork grip.

Love this rod for live bait rigging
June 1, 2015
I use this rod with a bait feeder spinning reel for shiners on various rigs. Has plenty of power for a "lite" rod. Great value overall with a good warranty.
Pros
- Light weight
- Strong casts
- Good feel
