      Senko Skipper would you try to make a review on shakespeare catch more fish rod? Many says of promising words on this one, I already believe on ugly stick. But not so sure with the Catch More Fish. By the way, #suitcaseerin is so cute. 😅👍🏼

    I built two boat rods using Ugly Stik blanks back in 2000. They are still going strong. The Ugly Stik baitcasting that I bought in 1977 is still with me and has never let me down. I just can't say enough good things about them.

      lol reminds me of a time a buddy of mine had his ugly stick propped on the side of the boat with a live shrimp on the other end. i turned my head when i heard some commotion, just in time to see it flip over the side... and kerplop it went. We used bottom rigs to troll the bottom, in a half hearted effort to snag the rod and reel or the line it was attached to. After about 10 casts he was lucky enough to snag the line and got the rod and real back minus the fish and live shrimp. :P

    I lived out in Washington state for several years and mostly fished for halibut and king salmon. I always used a Shakespeare 6.6 intercostal medium 2 pc and I now use an intercostal medium heavy 1 pc. I have other high end poles and reels, I currently fish for nothing but walleye, catfish and paddles when in season. I use the okuma stratus 35 and 55 on my poles and have caught some big flats, blues and paddles. I love this set up.

    I have several 7ft Ugly Stik GX2's. They are paired with Pflueger President reels and I love them for light salt water action. The reels are smooth as butter and the rods are tough as nails. That combo was strong enough to pull in a 48 inch redfish a few years back.

    You can fix that easily by moving the handle higher up or gluing a wooden dowel through the break from the bottom. Just use a heat gun to remove the butt end rubber knob.

    Ugly stick GX2 rods with Shimano sienna reels are the only setup I use. Tough, reliable, cheap, yet performs pretty well. Sufix elite mono on panfish and bass rods, berkley X9 braid and steel leader on large catfish and pike rod. Can't go wrong with the setup. Been using Ugly Stiks and shimano spinning reels since I was a teenager in the late 90's. My panfish rod and reel is over 20 years old and still works great, even with no maintenance.

    I own 8 Ugly Sticks from 6 to 80lbs class.
    Some of which I’ve had for over 20yrs. While I like these tests, being that I’m unwilling to do it to my own rods, someone is going to split their face open if they’re not careful. I’ve seen it happen on a Party Boat.
    Guy is fighting a big fish. He over tightened the drag, the line snapped while the rod was directly in front of him. His Hands, Reel and Rod hit him in the face so hard, that he knocked himself out and face planted the deck before any of us could react.
    Poor guy lost an eye, needed nose & face reconstruction, the works. He still goes fishing by the way, but it was heartbreaking to have seen.

    A friend of mine got an uglystick surf caster in the mail along with a bait runner reel. He tried out a few casts without any line on just for fun, just seeing how it handled. The tip went flying into the bushes and he knocked off a couple of guides. Anyway, since he'd never installed new guides before he took it to an expert. 3 weeks later he finally had the opportunity to try his new rod.
    Lesson learned, don't cast your rod without checking it's properly put together and without line.

Ever since I’ve never use this specific setup, why? It caught a 5’10” Catfish (my height). I have it locked up in a glass shelf against the wall. It was one of the scariest/exciting moment of my life.

    I have owned plenty of ugly sticks, primarily across the tiger series.
    They are good value rods if you are on a budget or don’t fish all the time.
    I have never broken off a rod and caught tons of fish on them and don’t have anything poor to say, they are the Honda civics of rods.

    Shimano Bait Runner and a Ugly Stick rod that combination has been my favorite outfit since I was in my late 20’s and now I’m 66. But, it’s time for me to try something new. Just to be doing something new. I will still always have that outfit available though.

    for years and years all I ever used was an Ugly Stix 6'6" medium rod and either a Zebco 33 Classic or a Quatum Hypercast spinning reel...those were the only two rod and reel combos I ever used...and the great thing is that these rods (and then the reels I chose) were inexpensive.
    and I caught more bigger fish and tougher fish than I ever have since...hmmm...time to sell some gear and get back to basics! :)
    thanks for the video!

    Love the GX2, cheap yet reliable pole. Great for fresh and salt water fishing.
    The only con is that over a year of fishing salt water, the eyes of the pole rust and break off. But, the good thing of living in fishing active place is that you can get the eyes replaced really cheap that can handle the salt water.

    if you ever get the chance you should visit the keys and hit the wrecks for some amberjack. they are usually under 150 feet of water, I've caught plenty using a deep drop rig with life bait or even using a jig. if you do happen to go for amberjack and you choose to cook it then I suggest smoking it but be sure to clean it well, most have some parasites in their side meat. smoke with apple wood or whatever else you prefer. keep up the great work

    Interesting! Looks like the drag was set to max strength to really put more pressure on the rod, so considering if I take that rod after some smaller inshore sharks or what have you, that would probably hold up really well. Sensitivity won't mater much then!
