I have an ugly stick & my wife still loves me.

Awesome video, that was great to watch. Danny "the Destroyer" was a horse on that trike.

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.

You know what the best part of this video is? Besides Suitcase Erin. It's that you had your little cousin involved. Making memories like this and involving him is gonna stick with him for life. Kudos to you, Erin, and the superhero Dan the Man!

They are only as strong as a car door or truck tailgate.

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.

That's amazing how it held up and it was only a medium. Imagine if was a medium-heavy... unbreakable?!?! Ugly Stiks For The Win! 👍

Who remembers when his yt channel used to be called senko skipper

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.

[pitdawg]

notice where it broke at? right at the part where it had a hard edge if not it would have kept flexing.

[EvanWmsGaming]

Honestly Ugly Stik is one of my favorite brand of rods to use

[biamfromphrog]

Suitcase Erin is like the weirdest foreplay I've ever seen

[jonahbordes]

I have had an ugly stick for 16 years and I haven't had an problem with it, they have so much durability it's unbelievable.

[robarreaga]

lol I streaming this on my tv and my mom asked what I was watching cuz of the noises in 5:15

[jalmaguer]

Left a like for suitcase Erin 👍🏽 I'm glad I got to see something that compares to a fish actually running and taking line like with the big wheel. Looks fun! I enjoyed it

[OGsaintCC]

That 80lb mono is tough holy crap lol

Iv busted 130lb on sharks that seemed easier than busting that 80lb, Great job loved the video!

[rydertilidyer]

I knew I loved my combo for a reason! Thank you for making me even more proud of my tackle! 🙂

[izaakvanbeuge]

Never seen someone so happy about breaking a rod.

[richardmatthews]

momma stopped em and said "y'all better put a damn helmet on!" 😂😂😂
