12ft XXH
November 21, 2020
I bought the 12ft XXH as a beginner rod for land based shark fishing. This rod has brought in 9.5ft and smaller sharks for the last few years and still going strong. I am noticing some wear on the eyes from using braided line. But uglystick has a great warranty program so im not worried about it.

I bought this rod to pair up with a Penn conventional reel that my father gave me. I plan on setting this one up for catching sheepshead from my kayak. The rod was very well packed and protected for shipment. I will definitely purchase from Tackle Direct again!
Pros
- Great quality product. Everyone loves an Ugly Stik rod. This rod looks great paired with my Penn 60 Longbeach. It has a great feel to it. I can't wait to fish with it.
- Packaging was very good!
- Shipping was fast!
Cons
- I should have bought more. :)
- There are no cons!

I have the 7ft mh bigwater rod. Would this rod be good enough for offshore tilefish? If so what reel would be applicable to pair?
1 Answer
The 7' MH is not ideal for Tile fishing. It has a max lure rating of 6 oz, anything heavier stands a chance to break the rod. You would need an XH for Tiles.

I have a Penn Warfare 30 would this 12' Ugly Still Big water rod be a good match? Thank you
1 Answer
Hi Ed, The Ugly Stik USBWBSF2550C122 Bigwater Conventional Surf rod would be a great surf rod for your Penn Warfare 30. However since its currently sold out, I would also recommend a Tica UEHA733502C TC2 Conventional Surf Rod. https://www.tackledirect.com/tica-ueha733502c-tc2-surf-casting-rod.html This would pair well with your Penn Warfare 30 and would be ideal for surf fishing applications.

September 17, 2021
Hello:
The only image shown for the lower third of this rod series pictures a reel seat with a trigger grip.
However, in the 'Product Chart' & 'Description' sections there is no mention of a trigger grip that I could find.
I am specifically interested in the 'USBWB1530C701' version of this rod, and I do not want or need a trigger for the application I am targeting (live-bait bump-trolling).
Thanks
1 Answer
HJ,
The Ugly Stix BigWater Casting rod USBW1530C701 does not have a trigger grip, it has a straight gimbal butt. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

What would pair better with an Avet LX G2 4.6 Single Speed Reel the USBWB1225C701 SHA-0336 or the USBWB1530C701 SHA-0337? This will be used as a kingfish setup.
1 Answer
The SHA-0337 is going to be the better option for a kingfish setup with this reel.

Would the 8 ft heavy action rod be a good match up with a Penn Senator 9/0 for land based shark fishing?
1 Answer
The reel seat on the Ugly Stick Big Water won't be able to handle the 9/0 senator.
Follow this link for a rod that will handle a Senator 9/0 and work for land based shark fishing.

Just purchased the heavy 10 ft ugly stick rated 6-12 lure weight. I also have a abu blue yonder 7000 and an Avet mxl second generation with mc cast control
Which reel do you think would pair better with the conventional rod, blue yonder or the Avet reel?
Thanking you in advance for your advice
1 Answer
Although im unsure about your fishing application, in general I would recommend the Avet MXL reel, better suited for casting and overall better quality built reel.
