I think this rod will do the job. I will be using it for Lake Trout on Lake Athabasca.., The only negative is the weight of the rod itself. It has a lot of backbone, but it is heavy.

Used this rod in SF Bay for stripers & sturgeons to inshore off Nor. Cal. for rockcod. Not sensitive enough for baitfishing, but excels in tossing jigs out in the mid-range depths. Reel seat fits your standard baitcasters, but had my Avet SX pop out while bringing in a large bat ray- rear reel seat's too thin for those all cast alum. reels.

I bought this rod about a year ago. Until now I have never had the slightest problem. Ok, I always thought that the tip is a little soft, but otherwise it was fine. I always keep my equipment at top notch condition. Clean it and just take good care of whatever unit I have. Last night I experienced a highly discomforting event. I hooked a Jack Crevalle. Most likely in the 8 to 10 pound range. Usually for this rod no problem at all. I have pulled way bigger fish out of the water. This time I had the Jack reeled in about 15 feet to the see wall. Out of nowhere the rod broke into 2 pieces at the second guide. It basically went into splints. I was astonished because this rod has been an awesome buddy for way bigger than 8 to 10 pound Jack. I still would recommend this rod just because I know it can accomplish way more than that, and it has in the past. This must be some sort of manufactures error. Since Ugly gives you a lifetime warranty I will send it in and get a replacement rod. I posses another Ugly and know that this rod is the finest for its money.
Good fishing.

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

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
