Very stiff backboneI have not had a chance to use these rods yet, but I look forward to trying them. I intend to use them as planer board rods for coho and walleye. The quality of construction looks pretty good, but I would like to see a little more consistent flex throughout the length of the rod. The end near the reel is like a broom stick, and the tip is extremely soft. Hopefully, I will be pleasantly surprised by their performance, but only time will tell.

Undisputed champion rodI have had (4) of the med heavy tigers and (2) of the elite and am amazed at how tough they are. They are really good looking too! If you put enough reel on these rods you can take on anything.

Disappointing GuidesAfter only a few years of near shore fishing, the top three guides starting from the tip, were grooved enough from using braided line to require replacement. May be OK for mono.

Ugly Stick TigerI bought 2. 7' 1 piece medium light casting and same thing in spinning. Durable. Nice to hand to family and friends when they come to town. Excellent price point. Med- light is nice, plenty of action in upper 1/3 and plenty back bone in the lower. Up to 20 lb Tuna no problem so far. This action would be good for bigger freshwater fish as well, Catfish, Stripers etc.

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.
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.
