Not as picturedThe rod pictured on the website is not necessarily what you will get. It was not what I got. Specifically, the guides pictured were not the guides on the rod as delivered. I was told that the website uses a "generic picture." What's the point of that? We all know what a fishing rod looks like!

Good ValueI have 2 of these. 7' Tiger med/light spinning , 7' Tiger med/light casting. 15 lb tuna on the spinning rod is the biggest so far. Great value. Plenty of flex in the top end for throwing delicate baits and enough back bone below to handle them at the boat.

Why buy a custom rod when you can buy this rod ?This rod is just as good as a custom rod and it won't break. I bought my first Ugly Stik Tiger in 1990 . I've owned all the different rods they made. In my opinion the 6-6 rod has the best action of any rod I've owned , It bends so nice and it's big enough for anything up to a 25 pound striped bass. The 7 foot Medium light has the worst action by far. I don't like that rod at all. All the action in that rod is 2 feet from the tip. It feels like you're fishing with a bamboo pole. I love the improvements they've made over the years like reinforced guides, better guide wrap, better colors and now the new rod has a slotted butt to keep it secure in the rod holder. The rod I bought in 1990 was made in the US. I think the new rods are foreign made now. I also own the 2 piece Ugly Stik Tiger and it travels well. Almost the same action as the one piece.

Reliable and tough foreverJust purchased 2 new med. light 8’ Tigers for my downrigger set up. Outstanding performance! This type of rod set up is slightly out of the ordinary for the application but the hook set is fantastic and strikes with hook up vs. short bites is absolutely better. This gives me more range of targeting different species with the same gear that I have not found with any other rod. Still have the first Ugly Stik I ever purchased over 30 years ago, love it so much I did not send it in to be replaced under the old Shakespeare policy after I broke it two different times. New tips, shorter twice, changed what I use it for- now my heavy lake trout jigger. Best rods ever made.

GREAT MULTIPSECIES RODHi. This is a great rod. I've used many name brands over the years but keep coming back to Shakespeare Ugly Sticks. I especially like the new Ugly Tuff guides. I've had several rods (even expensive ones) from different manufactures over the years pop out guide inserts and it really jacks up your fishing for the day much less having to get a new guide installed. These guides really are tuff and show zero line wear despite using them for surf fishing from the beach with both mono and braid and having sand and salt on the lines. This rod has a very nice tip that gives good sensitivity and flexibility to allow casting live or chunk bait without slinging the bait off your hook. I have mine paired with an Abu Catfish Special 6500 and an Abu Black Rocket 6500 and they both cast a mile with 1 to 3 ounce total weight (bait and sinker). So far I've caught small sharks, big catfish, pompano and several other species of fish and this rod outperforms bigger rods on the beach both in distance and fishing enjoyment. Do yourself a favor and get one. You'll be glad you did. BTW I don't get anything from Shakespeare or any one else. Just thought I might save some fellow anglers some time making a decision. Good luck and tight lines!

Different blanksSame part number on rods yet the blanks were different. One is smaller diameter than the other. I have several of these rods in my charter business. No time to return as I need them. Disappointed
How many guides does the rod have. The 7ft medium heavy model USTB3060C701
Asked by: Chalino
A 7' baitcast rod usual has 8 guides and a 7' spinning will have 7'.

Would the 7ft medium heavy rod be strong enough for shark fishing.

If you are going to fish 30 lb., 50 lb. or 80 lb. test line, you would need different rods and reels. The first consideration is what test line you should use and how much of it do you need? That decision will determine what rods and reels are necessary.

Looking at putting a penn fathom 15 level wind on a tiger rod. It’s going to be a dedicated dropper loop rock fishing set up using 6-10oz of lead. I have 65lb spectra with short 20lb mono/flouro. Is the medium6’6” the best rod for this type of fishing?
Asked by: Devildoc223
Conventional Rods are a bit stiffer and range from 6' to 15' in length, depending on the application. A trolling or fighting rod will be shorter and sturdier than a rod used for fishing from piers.
What to Look For
Length: Obviously, the longer the rod, the farther the reach and the longer the cast. You may have noticed the super-tall poles of 15 feet or more used by surfcasters who need to clear rocks on the jetty and the surf line with their casts. On the other extreme, trolling for large tuna or other big game fish, the rods are stiff and short, simply because they are not used for casting long distances or clearing large objects. In between these two are spinning/casting rods that typically range from 5.5' to 7'.

Would the penn squall 20 be a great match for the 7ft medium moderate for striped bass? Would be using 25lb mono with a 50lb leader and 5/0+ sized circle hooks and 3-7oz sinkers. I’ve got the spinning jigging rod with a penn battle 6000 love it

Which Rod would you recommend for leopard sharks, and does the medium heavy model have a sensitive tip?
Asked by: Jaybird1492
Per the manufacturer:
The medium heavy does have a sensitive tip. However, they would need to know what reel is being matched up with the rod to provide the best answer. Please contact Shakespeare directly at (800) 466-5643 and they can guide you further.
