### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice fishing pole
*by R***H on September 21, 2025*

Been using Ugly Sticks for ever, good pole for large and smaller fish. They have good sensitivity, strong and gets the job done and can't beat the price very happy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's an ugly stick.
*by B***S on November 17, 2025*

Toughness of an ugly stick - i use it for catfish at the dam, and saltwater surf and pier fishing. Feels good and works well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for trolling - feels like a much more expensive rod.
*by A***2 on July 27, 2016*

Always been a fan of Ugly Stik. I used to get their Ugly Stik Lite series because I really prefer cork handles. Their Elite series is very similar, but the action seems to be a little better. The build and material quality on this rod make it feel like you are using one that costs $200-300. I bought the 9ft version, and it is perfect for trolling in a boat with multiple people. It allows you to get your line out further than others so as not to get tangled. The only downside to a rod this long is that it is more difficult to cast and harder to handle a fish when you get it to the boat. Not detractors for this specific rod, just general comments on longer rods.
