Rated 5 out of 5Â by bjaq17 great rod
I have always loved ugly sticks,so this rod is no different. Just the right flex and backbone. I paired the medium flex rod with the Johnny Morris baitcasting reel. What an outstanding pair! It is so light and responsive, and the reel is so powerful.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by countrybbu great rod
this rod feels great good blance. I love the tip action it can realy get those lures out there. I paired this rod with a browing baitcast reel and its the best combo i have for bass fishing. i can cast anything from weightless worms to big crankbaits. its an ugly stik so you get years of use.

I bought this rod 7' ML to flip crocodiles and smelt for halibut, worked great.. landed a undersize but performed well cant wait to try it on a big one.. all in all great rod for the money, and its a ugly stik its reputation outlives itself..

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kaley small blackfin tuna landed
My local tackle shop initially got 2 pieces of the ML model a few months ago. I bought one of them for snapper fishing off Key West, but my best friend had the gumption to hook a small blackfin tuna on it. The graphite rod doubled but did not break, and he landed the fish after 10 minutes of following it in circles around the boat, passing the entire outfit under the anchor line as necessary. The ML rod performed even when pushed beyond reasonable expectations, and the seared tuna was delicious. I went back to the shop to purchase the 2nd rod and had to shoo away another shopper who tried to take it when I set the rod down to find hooks.

I want to pair one of these with a Lew's Speed Spool for bass fishing. The lure weight ratings seem appropriate for a variety of bass lures but the heavy line ratings make me think the rod would be too rigid for a lot of techniques. Are they flexible enough to fish bass?Answers
A:Â
I flip and skip and crank with the medium version. Going to get a med light just for finessing jigs but this one does an excellent job with that too. I have yet to find any technique that this stik isn't great at. I'm debating just getting another medium cuz the feel is so killer.A:Â
Perfect for bass!!! Its so light, you can fish it all day!!! And will handle any bass you hook!Details:Â
i realize this rod wasn't really built for it but am impressed with the weight & design; i am just curious as to how this rod would handle crankbaits & spinnerbaits up to 3/4 oz?Answers
A:Â
I've been running 3/4oz buzzbaits and spinner baits on 30lb pro line braided and I've had no issues what so ever. Great feel and plenty of strength, casting distance is phenominal as well. I'm using the medium version.A:Â
This rod will handle whatever you can handle in bass fishing.A:Â
Would be a little like hunting squirrels with an elephant gunA:Â
Yes this rod handles heavy spinnerbaits very well, but I cant say personally about the crankbaits. Not a big cranker.1 of 1
