Stout, but XH is an understatement!!I was in search of second rod, for surf casting to 4-6ft Sandbar Sharks, while trying to keep it under $100. With the “unbreakable” reputation of an easily affordable Ugly Stik, the 10ft XH conventional model seemed like a good choice. This rod is quite solid and well made, with an adequate number of double wrapped, sturdy guides and has long grips, both rear and front. Good looking too, with a nice decorative wrap adorning the butt section. Time for a few at home tests, to see if it’ll fit the task for me. A clear winner in a fixed object pull test, there’s little doubt that with heavy enough line, you could pull a small car in neutral, off of it’s parking spot. No shark I was after would be any problem for this rod! So far so good, but disappointment was about to spoil the fun, in the form of “like trying to cast with a flag pole”. I needed a stout rod, but I also needed it to be castable. Almost zero flex in the tip. This one’s just WAY too stiff and though it was everything else I was looking for, got returned and the search continues. The season’s a ways off, so no worries....

The Bigwaters get the job done.As a charter boat captain with 50 years experience I get to use many different rods from many different companies. My sponsors provide my rods at little or no cost. After watching dozens of broken rods, cracked guides and snapped tips I gave you Bigwaters a try. You can't beat the cost but more importantly you can't beat the quality.
One by one I started replacing the rods on the boat. With these 2 recent purchases my count is up to 11. I recommend your rods to all my clients and friends and I'm sure you've seen an uptick of sales from my area. The SS guides are the best. Your rods take a beating everyday and always come back the next day ready to do battle again.

Great pole for the priceJust bought the 10' casting extra heavy for surf fishing. First off, this thing is pretty heavy/stout compared to some other poles on the market. It's so tough, you could probably catch and beat a great white to death with it. I paired it up with a Penn Beachmaster 155. Not the best combo, but it worked and it's what I had at the time. I was throwing 5 oz weights and live shrimp fairly easily. The only thing I really don't like is the length of the butt. It's just a few inches too long for me. It may be perfect for someone else though. The pole was surprisingly sensitive for the massive diameter size. I could feel the trash fish taking my bait and even catching gaff tops at a lb or less. Unlike some other expensive poles, I find most ugly stik surf models delicately present light bait. They kind of lob bait instead of rifling it at the target which usually results in it flinging off. I honestly wish they would offer a 10' or 11' MH version of this pole, but for the price it's great. River cat fisherman would also love this.

I have fished ugly sticks for many a year and always will I have always been rough on my gear but ugly sticks hold up no matter how they are mistreated
when separated and broken down what is the length? will it fit in an overhead of an airplane?
Asked by: mike mac 56
It depends on how much space you have. The 10’ will break down into two 5’ pieces, and the 12’ will break down into two 6’ pieces.
