Take your love for the Ugly Stik from the open water to the ice. The genuine Ugly Stik Ice Rod blank has an EVA foam handle as well as stainless steel guides and inserts. Lengths: 26", 28".
I've always loved the ugly stick blanks and shekespears customer service. I did find one thing I'd like to be better on this rod. The reel attachment could be a better design to hold a spinning reel better. It is a very good rod other than the update I'd make.
I bought this rod late in the ice season. Excelent value for the money. Added a spring bobber and a Pflueger 4520 reel and 4 # line. Fished with it two times before the ice went out and could'nt be more satisfied. Works good for panfish and still has the backbone for something bigger. Yes I would recommend this to a friend. Buy it.
This rod is very good and does everthing I need it to but like all ugly stiks its fairly stiff. It works amazing for walleye but requires a sensitive indicator for trout
been out fishing with it twice now good rod catching gills, crappie and a small northern . the reel holders loosen up all the time and twist.. need to add twist ties to secure it better.
