Bought the UL combo two years ago and love them. Me and my son fight over who was going to use them. Excellent quality for the price. I also put a lighter line only because of the clarity of the water I fish. 6# is to visible to the fish, switch to 2#. Ultra sensitive tip. Well worth the money. I also use Electrical tape to hold the reel seats in place. They seem to work there way off the reel.
I bought the UL combo for my father-in-law (and myself!) for Christmas. Excellent rod and really well designed reel. Super sensitive rod and rod tip w/ the UL setup. You honestly don't need the spring bobber. But, you still have plenty of backbone if you hook up with something that has a bit of girth. The reel has a quality drag system on it and is constructed to be ice glove 'compliant'. Really nice combo for the money. My only gripe is the line it comes pre-spooled with. It is a stiff 6# line (not a HT product) that isn't of good quality. (I pulled it and replaced it with a quality 2# test.) Since rod/reel combos don't normally come pre-spooled, I didn't dock the combo points. Nice Product!
very well built rod and has a nice reel that comes with the poleand also very nice quality rod and reel fair price getting what you paided for it and alot more
