6 Of The Best Saltwater Fishing Rods

I personally use all 6 of these fishing rods. In this video I review some of the differences in the Carbon Inshore, GX2, Big Water, Elite, Inshore Select and InterCoastal fishing rods from Ugly Stik.

I've been using Ugly Stik rods my entire life and have found them to be the very best when it comes to price, durability and warranty.

Love your review and love the fact that your an every day Joe that considers every day Joe budget like myself... Most fishermen are sponsored and will push rod and reels that are not budget friendly.. Thank you again and appreciate your videos and your humility..

I love the Ugly Stik GX2 9' Elite Steelhead rods. I own 4. They handle 15-50 pound test and can cast up to 4oz lures. Lightweight and versatile and with a nice parabolic bend. I have never broken any components on them.

My go to rods have been Berkley Ugly Stiks for medium and light spinning. Skakespeare Sturdy Stiks for bait fishing from a boat or pier. And I've added some Zebco Hot Cast rods for light stuff and guest rods. They are all durable good rods for the money.

Have a 10ft ugly stick for 30+ years now. Used it for snagging and tossing bunker. It's a 2piece, the top part is female. I can't tell you how many times I've cast and the top has come apart. Luckily I've never lost it.

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I have literally been shopping for rods. This was a huge help, thanks man. Love the videos, keep making them!

Always loved Ugly Stikk. Just paired the select with a spinfisher vi 2500. Super balanced!! Trout slaying machine :)

Love this video man great job, to many people hate on ugly stick but they quite literally are the best for the price

All my rods are Ugly Stiks paired with penn reels except for one Abu Garcia.
They are great. Great video. God bless.

Just the video I needed to see. Ordered a Penn pursuit combo, and the tip broke off on me so I was looking at UglyStik rod as a replacement with plans of putting the penn pursuit reel on. Low and behold I came across your channel and that's exactly what you are using and reviewing. Not the uglystik combo pack or penn combo, but the miss matched paring I was hoping to see before I spent the money on a new rod. Id rather watch a review before I go a little less expensive and still have a similar or better experience. Thank you kindly sir!!!!

Thanks for reviewing that Carbon Inshore. I had thoughts about adding this to my set up. It looks like a nice rod to keep around.

I’m a believer in ugly stiks JC! Been using my elites for 3 years now and they’re been put threw the ringer, never had a problem. Just bought the ugly stick catfish special 8 foot rod. I’m gonna do some blue cat fishing with it.

Not being rough, just know how to use it. Good video vibes 🤙

Shakespeare Ugly Stick!!!🤔🤔🤔🫣🫣🫣🫣. those rods are the

[snagrbuster]

Thanks for the video!! Every Ugly Stik "Pure" Carbon rod for Steelhead & Pacific Salmon rods that I know of, have an attractive Red resin-coating!! I was confused as to why you don't have any of these C/Graphite rods??!! They're available from light to heavy and up to 10' 6" long, in both Casting and Spinning!! The heavy 10' 6" will cast up to 6 Oz.

Thanks man, you’re the reason why I have my amazing combo the gx2 with penn pursuit 3

[Prone-Ski_BX]

I have the 6-ft big water. And that thing is built like a tank for a 30 lb rod. I've gotten gag grouper off the skyway with that thing.

[chuckschillingvideos]

I've been catching no end of abuse for my ancient Ugly Stiks for decades now. Doesn't matter to me. They work.

[bobgill]

I like to use artificials, which one is the lightest and most sensitive for that purpose.

[Alsaltyadventures]

thanks for the info, I usually buy ugly sticks but only because like you said they are price conscious and easily available.
