6 Of The Best Saltwater Fishing Rods
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- I personally use all 6 of these fishing rods. In this video I review some of the differences in the Carbon Inshore, GX2, Big Water, Elite, Inshore Select and InterCoastal fishing rods from Ugly Stik.
I've been using Ugly Stik rods my entire life and have found them to be the very best when it comes to price, durability and warranty.

Love your review and love the fact that your an every day Joe that considers every day Joe budget like myself... Most fishermen are sponsored and will push rod and reels that are not budget friendly.. Thank you again and appreciate your videos and your humility..
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I have literally been shopping for rods. This was a huge help, thanks man. Love the videos, keep making them!
Thanks for reviewing that Carbon Inshore. I had thoughts about adding this to my set up. It looks like a nice rod to keep around.
Love this video man great job, to many people hate on ugly stick but they quite literally are the best for the price
Thanks man, you’re the reason why I have my amazing combo the gx2 with penn pursuit 3
Great review. I love all the ugly stik fishing rod model it was very light and durrable especially the stainless guide no need to worried the inside popping out
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
love the video it's a first for me for sure Thanks for taking the time and show us the rods
Glad you enjoyed
Love your review for fishing gears ,thanks
I’m a believer in ugly stiks JC! Been using my elites for 3 years now and they’re been put threw the ringer, never had a problem. Just bought the ugly stick catfish special 8 foot rod. I’m gonna do some blue cat fishing with it.
Very good video JC! I really like how you explain everything. Very easy for anyone to understand.
All my rods are Ugly Stiks paired with penn reels except for one Abu Garcia.
They are great. Great video. God bless.
thanks for the info, I usually buy ugly sticks but only because like you said they are price conscious and easily available.
My go to rods have been Berkley Ugly Stiks for medium and light spinning. Skakespeare Sturdy Stiks for bait fishing from a boat or pier. And I've added some Zebco Hot Cast rods for light stuff and guest rods. They are all durable good rods for the money.
Just the video I needed to see. Ordered a Penn pursuit combo, and the tip broke off on me so I was looking at UglyStik rod as a replacement with plans of putting the penn pursuit reel on. Low and behold I came across your channel and that's exactly what you are using and reviewing. Not the uglystik combo pack or penn combo, but the miss matched paring I was hoping to see before I spent the money on a new rod. Id rather watch a review before I go a little less expensive and still have a similar or better experience. Thank you kindly sir!!!!
You are welcome.
I love the Ugly Stik GX2 9' Elite Steelhead rods. I own 4. They handle 15-50 pound test and can cast up to 4oz lures. Lightweight and versatile and with a nice parabolic bend. I have never broken any components on them.
Glad you posted, have been eyeballing that rod. Will be my next U Stik.
Me too, so much can be done with that rod. Have the 9' Gx2 med action 4-20 Lb line rated and it is a nice bluegill, crappie and trout trout and catfish rod. Always wondered about the 9' 15-50 lb line rated rod as a pier, jetty and river rod. Glad you you gave a shout out on that series. Especially the Elite rod.
Looking at one also- thank you for sharing.
ny times best fishing combo ugly stik gxt and a daiwa bg been using mine for years beach and lake great video JC thanks
Right on, totally unbiased too! www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-rod-reel-for-most-fishers/
Always loved Ugly Stikk. Just paired the select with a spinfisher vi 2500. Super balanced!! Trout slaying machine :)
Good stuff JC.
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff dude
I like the ugly stick to got a couple of them last one I bought brand new second cast the ring came off the foam now I buy St.Croix
Shakespeare Ugly Stick!!!🤔🤔🤔🫣🫣🫣🫣. Yeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!, those rods are the BEST!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Great video JC. Really appreciate your content. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎣
And please don’t send the Shark after me to Orlando, because I will send it back to Tampa! 😂
Interesting video thanks JC! Ugly Stik rods have got quite a good reputation here in the UK. Amused that you seem to use much shorter rods in the USA than we do here! 7ft rods here are mainly used for boat fishing. My two light spinning rods are 9ft & 10ft, and for bait fishing from a beach, I have two 15ft rods. Some folk are using 16ft & upwards! Stay safe & well! 🎣🎣👍👍
Wow! 15' long fishing rod, I've never used one that long. 8' long is the max I've used.
In Europe in general they use longer rods
8 9 ft up to 10 ft for freshwater fishing
Sometimes longer on bigger rivers float fishing
Wat are y'all tryna catch whales?! The longest I would go Is 7' unless I'm surf fishing then I would probably use a 10'
thanks so much for this video, i was in a fight with a big snook, and it broke off, then my rod broke be4 i was able to drag it to land, then i found out i used a light action rod, now i know what i need
Not being rough, just know how to use it. Good video vibes 🤙
I have the 6-ft big water. And that thing is built like a tank for a 30 lb rod. I've gotten gag grouper off the skyway with that thing.
I got my penn reels this weekend. I got the 6000 and the 8000. And I got the 8000 on a 14 ft rod. I said 13 but it’s a 14ft. I’ll be reeling that thing for 4 hrs lol. I want those Red Bulls!!!
I received great information. Got my eye on some Ugly sticks for my 33-year-old. I will have more fun picking them out now! Thank you for sharing.
Question: What are you're favorite saltwater spots, (Hanapa!)?
great Parabolic curve on that inshore carbon
Getting ready for the JetSki fishing I’m so nervous to go on my own
Thanks for the run down on these rods. I’m really interested in that tall rod in the corner to the left. What’s that? Lol
I have few St. Croix sticks anfbi like them but the Ugly can't be beat and not just because they're cheap. I've broke a few eyes but I replaced them and they work great. I do wish they made bigger intercoastal.
I've been catching no end of abuse for my ancient Ugly Stiks for decades now. Doesn't matter to me. They work.
Doing jetski fishing what reel size you recommend?
Thanks
Have a 10ft ugly stick for 30+ years now. Used it for snagging and tossing bunker. It's a 2piece, the top part is female. I can't tell you how many times I've cast and the top has come apart. Luckily I've never lost it.
Try rubbing candle wax on the joint
@@thegoods2240 ok 👍 will do
I never liked the foam grips on the ugly stiks especially for the surf rods
If you like that Ugly Stik, you should really check out the Penn Squadron II...
For Saltwater fishing
No.1 UglyStick inshore series 7'6"
Great video, I’m never paying big $$ for made in China gear.
What is the best deep sea rod for my penn spinfisher 10500 vi with 80 lb braid
I caught a 150 lb goliath on the Big Water Ugly Stik. ua-cam.com/video/q32CDWtVai8/v-deo.htmlsi=miskN53qZuluPHWR
I'm looking for lure fishing rod.
Can you help me pls??
I like to use artificials, which one is the lightest and most sensitive for that purpose.
The blue rod, Carbon Inshore
The medium ugly stik elites are very versatile works well for panfish, bass and nice size channel cats, and nice size reds too
Fantastic video, I just came across your channel. I am right now in the market for a striper rod but I am torn between the new inshore Medium and Medium Heavy. I will be trolling freshwater and the fish are probably anywhere up to 30lbs on average. I feel like I'll need the heavy but I don't prefer the longer handle for trolling and I'd rather use the shorter. Do you think the Medium with the shorter handle will be strong enough for this type of fishing? Thanks in advance!
I'm not familiar with the type of fishing you will be doing. Those are some big fish, sounds like fun.
@@RadReelingFishing The fish are striped bass, most like to call them stripers. They are a ton of fun to catch, very strong fish. For reference they would probably fight like a Redfish, I used to do some saltwater fishing also but live in TN now. So with that info, do you think the Medium carbon inshore would be tough enough to handle a 30lb Redfish? Or should I really get the Medium Heavy? Thanks
@@NoBody-vs3lm If you're fishing in mostly open water this rod will handle 30 lb fish, but I'd recommend something more robust...along the lines of the Big Water Ugly Stik for 30 lb fish.
@@RadReelingFishing Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it!
What brand / size reel di you have on the Ugly Stix GX2? I just took a brand new Ugly Stix GX2 to St. George and although I love the rod, the reel froze up after the second day. I assume its from the sand and salt water so I am needing a new reel. Thanks!
I use 4000 size reels on my GX2 for saltwater fishing. I like Penn.
@@RadReelingFishing I thought it looked like a Penn....Thank you!
Try chef Paul's magic blend
Are they not lifetime warranties anymore? They used to be for many many years.

Original inter coastal rods were awesome. The new ones are the same as a Penn squadron
Oh, I haven't tried the Penn Squadron rod. Thanks for commenting.
This is a good rod, I've snapped it twice, but it's a good rod. Lol that made me laugh
Ugly Stick and Penn are simple, cheap rods. But after I tried Shimano and St.croix I changed them
18 ft howmuch price
I have a12 foot ugly stick
What is the best rod for pear fishing?
Depends on what you are fishing for.
@@RadReelingFishingRedfish
Penn...period.
How are you liking the penn authority? I'm considering getting one!
I really like! I haven't been fishing much in the past week. I'm headed out tomorrow to cast a line though.
@@RadReelingFishing good luck! You outta come up north and try some tog fishing!
And what is the best reel?
Penn
Interesting how you don't have 9 or 10 ft rods for surf fishing. I'm pretty sure Ugly Stik gx2 has a 9-foot rod that might be your best bet for surf fishing
The fish I catch in the surf don't require a long rod, Snook, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel...Here are some of those videos:
Snook ua-cam.com/video/X0CHrMoQHM0/v-deo.html
Pompano/Ladyfish ua-cam.com/video/XGEjWXkTzJQ/v-deo.html
Spanish Mackerel and more ua-cam.com/video/L-YrQSXMjUQ/v-deo.html
I like st croix rods a lot because I like paying for quality (sealed reel with a nice rod)
U didn't review the elite
I am looking for a nice saltwater rod and reel for my husband??? Mid range price. Fishing In RI So many different kinds ugh😂

I am from India meghalaya Shillong UGLY original howmuch price
I would never buy another Ugly Stik again. If you look straight down their blanks, you'll notice that none of them are straight, nor are they spined correctly. Much better rod to buy is the Tsunami Slimwave line of rods.
Thanks for commenting. I've had excellent results with them.
Perfect stock and a splined blank is not something you’re gonna get at an ugly stik price. They’re tough as nails though and they’re at a price most people afford
i like these videos but I wish he’d tell us the rod action
sometimes the action isnt marked on the rod just the power of the rod.
@@RadReelingFishing what up jc! appreciate the reply on a 9 month old video. But yeah I get it my rods the same, just power
There are much better saltwater rods than Ugly sticks !
You lost me at ugly stick 😅
Why is that?
Ugly sticks are fiberglass, you get flex durability while sacrificing weight, sensitivity, and fast actions. Kinda shitty rod for casting lures in the grand scheme of things
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Did you watch the video?
Not True. Educate yourself about how they are made.
