Rated 5 out of 5Â by Spectrumist Great value, fine performance
I bought one of these for saltwater kayak fishing, trolling tube and worm for striped bass. Affordable, with the backbone to handle large fish, this rod is working out great so far! Rod weight is not a factor for trolling, tip is sensitive enough to readily detect grass on the tube. 7 foot length perfect for use in a 13"5"" kayak.
Only drawback is I had to cut off flared butt end to get it to fit in rod holder, but that is a very minor issue that I expected. I will be sawing off a couple of additional rod butts soon, as I am buying more of these rods to outfit my back-up and lead-core rigs.

I bought this rod in the mind for peir fishing on the Atlantic Coast and throwing heavy plugs in the surf and jettey's. I bought the heavy rod 7' and it is a beast, yes it is heavy but for the lure weight it is expected, great price and the quality is great! I will be buying another very soon!!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by flathead4 Awesome Rod!!!
I purchased 2 of these for catfishing on the Missouri river. These rods handle 3-5 ounces of lead easy and will handle big flatheads with ease. I have an ABU 6500 on both and they are amazing.

Hi I own the ugly stick catfish rod but its a bit heavy for my taste would the 6'6 12-30 lbs tiger light be lighter with a smaller diameter?Answers
A:Â
I own the 6'9" tiger stik lite casting rod. Weighed on my kitchen scale, it was approx. 10 oz. w/o reel. It's a bit heavier than it appears and less sensitive than you might imagine, but does great for chucking 4-6 oz. jigs out here in the Pacific. It also has a bit of a fast taper to it. I don't own that catfish rod so I can't compare the two.

I just got into muskie fishing and im going to bass pro shops on saturday, my birthday, and im wonder if the serious and recreational muskie anglers would recomend this rod for all types of presentations....if not this rod what would you recomendAnswers
A:Â
Ugly Stik is a good all around rod and affordable. You need to match the rod to the weight of lures and line you plan to use, regardless of target species. For large or strong fish like Muskies or Stripers in salt water consider a minimum of 7' and go to 7'6" or 8' if possible - these will give best leverage for casting, hook setting and fighting fish.Details:Â
I need strong opinions from owners why the 6'9" Tiger Lite or the 7' Tiger Lite is one to own, especially for inshore boat fishing. I want to match it with a Shimano Cardiff. Don't have the funds for both. Thanks.Answers
A:Â
I fish more than most people you might now and have a considerable investment in tackle from many makers and both spinning and casting. I suggest you get the 7' rod for sure - the more you fish the more you learn to appreciate longer rods - easier to cast and much better for hook setting and fighting fish.Details:Â
Just to poll owners of the Tiger Lite, which size do you have and why did you choose that particular size? Thanks all.Answers

As thin as it appears, the rod as a whole is stiffer than I would have guessed. In no way is it a whip, but a workhorse in bringing heavy jigs[6-8oz] from depths of as far down as 150'. In fact, when in waters less than 80', I switch to a lighter rod as the tiger lite seems to dampen the action of the lighter jigs.

These Tiger lite rods are rated for "medium" and "medium heavy" action - but Shakespeare uses the term "action" to rate what I usually refer to as "power" or the overall stiffness / lifting ability of the rod. The question you ask is what I would usually refer to as action; with terms ranging from fast (whip-like tip) to slow (whole rod bend). The action on these rods is what I would call "fast" - the tip responds quickly, like a whip.Q:Â

I have found the lite to be just as strong as the regular just lighter. Make sure you use the proper length and action for the type of fishing you plan to do.1 of 1
