      Senko Skipper would you try to make a review on shakespeare catch more fish rod? Many says of promising words on this one, I already believe on ugly stick. But not so sure with the Catch More Fish. By the way, #suitcaseerin is so cute. 😅👍🏼

    I built two boat rods using Ugly Stik blanks back in 2000. They are still going strong. The Ugly Stik baitcasting that I bought in 1977 is still with me and has never let me down. I just can't say enough good things about them.

    I lived out in Washington state for several years and mostly fished for halibut and king salmon. I always used a Shakespeare 6.6 intercostal medium 2 pc and I now use an intercostal medium heavy 1 pc. I have other high end poles and reels, I currently fish for nothing but walleye, catfish and paddles when in season. I use the okuma stratus 35 and 55 on my poles and have caught some big flats, blues and paddles. I love this set up.

    • @klou812
      @klou812 7 лет назад +2

      lol reminds me of a time a buddy of mine had his ugly stick propped on the side of the boat with a live shrimp on the other end. i turned my head when i heard some commotion, just in time to see it flip over the side... and kerplop it went. We used bottom rigs to troll the bottom, in a half hearted effort to snag the rod and reel or the line it was attached to. After about 10 casts he was lucky enough to snag the line and got the rod and real back minus the fish and live shrimp. :P

      Awesome Quote, The best rod is the one you can afford to buy that you feel comfortable fishing.....not everyone can afford expensive rods and even though expensive rods are great there is a lot of mid range priced rods on the market that are suitable and can get the job done!

    I have several 7ft Ugly Stik GX2's. They are paired with Pflueger President reels and I love them for light salt water action. The reels are smooth as butter and the rods are tough as nails. That combo was strong enough to pull in a 48 inch redfish a few years back.

    Ugly stick GX2 rods with Shimano sienna reels are the only setup I use. Tough, reliable, cheap, yet performs pretty well. Sufix elite mono on panfish and bass rods, berkley X9 braid and steel leader on large catfish and pike rod. Can't go wrong with the setup. Been using Ugly Stiks and shimano spinning reels since I was a teenager in the late 90's. My panfish rod and reel is over 20 years old and still works great, even with no maintenance.

    I have the same rod and love it, you wouldn't break that rod Fresh water fishing, but loved the extreme testing. I have been using Ugly stik rods for over 20 years, and many of my guide captains (use to be the fishing manager at a Gander mountain) from lake Erie would only use them because of there strength. Great Video!

    Just bought the Ugly Stick Gold, 8' long in 6-10kg medium heavy, matched with the Ugly Tuff SP60 reel. Have yet to take it out for a fish. Can't wait to use it.

      @gesarts3625 7 лет назад +3

      J.L Hoffy I agree, but the GX2 is actually a lot stiffer than all of the others I've used in the past and currently still use.

      Jonnie Allmond I'm not bagging senko out, I have a gx2 and it's my worst rod in the arsenal. I bought it because of all these guys raving about it.

    if you ever get the chance you should visit the keys and hit the wrecks for some amberjack. they are usually under 150 feet of water, I've caught plenty using a deep drop rig with life bait or even using a jig. if you do happen to go for amberjack and you choose to cook it then I suggest smoking it but be sure to clean it well, most have some parasites in their side meat. smoke with apple wood or whatever else you prefer. keep up the great work

    I own 8 Ugly Sticks from 6 to 80lbs class.
    Some of which I’ve had for over 20yrs. While I like these tests, being that I’m unwilling to do it to my own rods, someone is going to split their face open if they’re not careful. I’ve seen it happen on a Party Boat.
    Guy is fighting a big fish. He over tightened the drag, the line snapped while the rod was directly in front of him. His Hands, Reel and Rod hit him in the face so hard, that he knocked himself out and face planted the deck before any of us could react.
    Poor guy lost an eye, needed nose & face reconstruction, the works. He still goes fishing by the way, but it was heartbreaking to have seen.

    A friend of mine got an uglystick surf caster in the mail along with a bait runner reel. He tried out a few casts without any line on just for fun, just seeing how it handled. The tip went flying into the bushes and he knocked off a couple of guides. Anyway, since he'd never installed new guides before he took it to an expert. 3 weeks later he finally had the opportunity to try his new rod.
    Lesson learned, don't cast your rod without checking it's properly put together and without line.

    You can fix that easily by moving the handle higher up or gluing a wooden dowel through the break from the bottom. Just use a heat gun to remove the butt end rubber knob.

    I have owned plenty of ugly sticks, primarily across the tiger series.
    They are good value rods if you are on a budget or don’t fish all the time.
    I have never broken off a rod and caught tons of fish on them and don’t have anything poor to say, they are the Honda civics of rods.

    I use a few Ugly Sticks (9 to 12’) to surf fish. I love my oldest one with the oversized ceramic reel guides. I do not like the all metal guides that Ugly Sticks changed to in recent years. Many folks have complained about these metal guides either failing or breaking or cutting line. I still like my graphite Offshore Angler Ocean Master surf rods the best. ‘Suitcase Erin” was the best part of the video. We’re you guys taking drugs or something? Very entertaining. Oh, have you ever tried to take apart and service a Baitrunner reel? It is no fun! (Now you should know you can’t mess with a “Big Wheel!”)

  • @lonewolf025

    Shimano Bait Runner and a Ugly Stick rod that combination has been my favorite outfit since I was in my late 20’s and now I’m 66. But, it’s time for me to try something new. Just to be doing something new. I will still always have that outfit available though.

  • @SOPhenix-np6cl
    @SOPhenix-np6cl 4 года назад

    Yea these are good. Fished them for years until changing to Phoenix rods.
    These are good for entry level or those who don’t really fish frequently.
