Best Sturgeon Rod Modification

In this tutorial, I'm going to take you step by step to modify a 12' extra heavy Ugly Stik Bigwater Casting Rod. When done correctly, this modification will allow you have an edge over not only the sturgeon but also other anglers.

Best rod extension mod video on youtube hands down! I do the exact same thing just never thought to add the brass pin which was genius!

Hey thanks. It’s definitely been a game changer for us. My dad brother and I sat down with some ideas one night and this is what came of it.

@@FishQuest hell you guys could charge for that job ,super solid work! I'm actually planning a trip up to the snake here this summer for a few nights and would be cool to link up with some locals and get on some sturgeon if you guys would be down for that

[@FishQuest]

@@HurtinForSturgeon hah ya I’m sure Ugly Stik or someone may steal my design which would actually be cool to see. That’d be awesome, we’d love to hit the Snake with you sometime. My email should be linked in the video description, feel free to email me and we can exchange phone #’s and make a summer trip happen.

Is there a modification that makes your rod float so it doesn't get taken by the fish?!

Hah ya, it’s called an energy drink so you’re not asleep when moby comes around.
