I'm team uglystick for life. Just upgrade the reels lol. Rods are virtually indestructible. I use my dock runners to troll for walleye, big smallmouth, and trout. They're easy to store in the boat and I they also double for ice fishing. They're my go-to favorite rods.
ive been using a zebco dock demon rod for many many years paired with a zebco zse20 reel, 20lb mono and a 4/0 circle hook. i have caught countless catfish like this but recently decided to change it up a bit. i just put a Penn Pursuit4 4000 reel with 30lb braid and a 6/0 circle hook on it. cant wait to go catfishing again. its hilarious seeing the reaction of people when they see me land a fish that is longer than the pole im using. i thought about putting one of my Pursuit4 6000 or 8000 reels on but the wont fit without modifications and thats not happening.
The biggest difference in these poles are the action for the tips. The Ugly Stik is Modrate power, action Fast 4lbs to 8lbs, length 36" There is no lure weight forthe ugly stik The Dock Demon is Modrate power, action Meduim 2lbs to 6lbs, length 30" The max lure weigh for the Dock demon is list on the pole at 1/8 of an oz. I have both too. I will say the Dock demon's reel feels much better & smoother than the ugly stik's reel, but the drag is just hard to fine tune. The dock demon being shorter & stiffer seem like setup for small crank baits or spinner baits. My best fish on 6lbs line was a 13lbs 42" hen steelhead on 1/32 little nipper jig. I was alone standing in the water with wading boots & netting it was pain. The three times I got the net down in the water it took off to like 50-100 feet away from me. I had wear it down to bring it in & net it.
Great video. Lot of fun. Looking forward to fishing the ugly stik. Still fish the original ultralight ugly stik howald process rods, 4ft 8", but will be getting one of these ultra, ultra lights. Thanks.
I took a quick trip to Walmart before hitting up Quarry Lakes to buy rainbow garlic Power Bait & chartreuse (1st time using the product). I also bought the Zebco Sling shot (burgundyish) inexpensive rod just to try a lighter rod. It looks similar to your Zebco Dock Demon and I wonder if there's a difference besides the price 🤔.
Just cought this channel man.. Like the stuff I see. Just picked up a dock runner today, was the first time I have ever seen these combos in a store.. You know I had to get one. I'm just a fan os spincasters tho. Still have nightmares about the old Zebco 303s birdnesting on me when I was a kid. Maybe I'll change the reel out, but that rod.. Fire 🔥.
Damn rogue ima have tonhit that up my g I've been in south San jo for a min now did not know that was so close ima have to hit it up. By the way my g keep up the videos i stay tuned!! Dope work. And like the other comment said..thats good promotion on keeping the mask bro I work at Stanford and this covod aint a joke. Stay safe and blesses to the 2021 new year may many fish come to is anglers
bigups & kudos to you bro. i appreciate ya actually wearin a mask or gaterneck in the vids to promote that to our folks. as an angler and er medical provider 🙏🏽. love the channel bruh. keep up the good work
I didn't wear a mask for 2 years and didn't get it. Working in a gas station. When they made me start wearing one I got it 2 week later. It's bullshit.
@@cyruslever586 lol. yea, and when you get it, you’re gonna be telling yourself maybe i should’ve. i’m blessed to haven’t gotten it in the ER ever since it all started. and i’m sure it has a lot to do with me wearing my mask
@@MACNTOSFAM can you read? I got it less than month after I started wearing a mask. I went maskless for 2 years and was fine. It was in the masks and shit. Inhaling hot wet air giving it a chance to grow when it really is a minor thing and only old and sick people should worry. I didn't even know I had it and got my results and then I felt sick for 3 days and was fine. They don't make everyone wear a mask every winter when the flu goes around. Better to get it and be done with it Unless your going to die. It was 100% political and engineered/controlled
Ugly stick dock runner is a medium power rod 4lbs line 🤔 that doesn't sound right.. it needs 8 lbs line in it we that's what I put inn the stream fishing is #one I pick up and put in my bag. A rod rated power is 6 lbs to 12 lbs line medium is no salowch
That Shakespeare ugly Stik is straight trash. The little plastic that hold the bale in place just broke haven't had the thing 2 weeks. Not to mention it's complicated just getting the thing strung. There are also no good videos showing how to do it
Definitely not a pole I would try to put in place of another a reliable one. Just fun to mess around with. Besides that 5lb trout I landed a 12lb carp.

So good to see a video of someone who is level headed and not some idiot shouting at the camera. Subbed.
Thank you I really appreciate that...

That 4000 should work out good. Tight lines man!!!
I like my Zebco 404 it's good but the ugly stick is definitely more sturdy & reliable
I agree

They are both relatively good set ups I just like the ugly stik a little more.
on which rod did you catch the steelhead on, Demon or Runner ??
@machinegun3133 dock runner
9:41 did you change the line i just got one
No I kept everything stocked
Great video. Lot of fun. Looking forward to fishing the ugly stik. Still fish the original ultralight ugly stik howald process rods, 4ft 8", but will be getting one of these ultra, ultra lights. Thanks.
Right on man... It really is a lot of fun...
Made for dock fishing, peers boats and small ponds
Definitely understood but this was more so a challenge to see what I can catch with these rods other than panfish.
I took a quick trip to Walmart before hitting up Quarry Lakes to buy rainbow garlic Power Bait & chartreuse (1st time using the product). I also bought the Zebco Sling shot (burgundyish) inexpensive rod just to try a lighter rod. It looks similar to your Zebco Dock Demon and I wonder if there's a difference besides the price 🤔.
No difference just the size. I actually caught my PB on a slingshot pretty good pole for the price but again the drag system needs work.
Ya boy that's a nice fish 🧐 great stuff nice show thanks
Thanks man I appreciate it
I just discovered your channel and I like what I see.
Thanks man I appreciate it
Nice catch
Thanks man
I just got me a dock runner. I look forward to that fight! #ItGetsReel.
Nice!!!
I have the dock demon with spincast "aka" push button with 4lbs line 11/2 weighted torpedo float & mini trout magnet jig killer on bluegill
Sounds like a deadly combination for the bluegill
Both are nice. I have 2 of each
Nice!!!

Yessir good look bruh I appreciate it.
Didn’t even get to see him. 😂😂😂
Just liked and subscribed. Enjoyed the video. Would you consider tying a leader onto a rod that short?
Yeah I don't see the harm in that. It was just the poor drag system on the zebco that made me lose that fish.
@@ItGetsReelFishing thank you so much. Still plan to get one some day. Truth is I haven’t been catching anything on the ones that already have. 😑
Keep at it man persistence is key
@@ItGetsReelFishing thank you. I will. I really enjoy it. Catch or not. As long as it’s not too hot. 🥵
I heard that
Good video keep it goin 👍
Thanks man
Love yo fishin videos bro
Thanks man I appreciate it

What is the best time to go trout fishing at mcalpine?
In my experience right after they stock it.
