- Capt Dave discusses his favorite Shakespeare Ugly Stik rods; their great features, durability from a fishing guides aspect.
He bleeds.....UGLY STIK! (wanna see the tattoo?)
I AM NOT A FRESHWATER CAT FISHERMAN, for all of you that still haven't asked about kittykat fishing.
I was on the G. Loomis pro-staff for I believe 7 years, and had more rods snapped in half than I've ever seen before. I've tried St. Croix's, Cabelas brand rods, even some Heavy Duty Penn rods.
I started out in the charter business in 1996 with a arsenal of Ugly Stiks, made the rounds trying out all the High End rods, and eventually ended up where I began. Because they just plain WORK, for me, and my charter customers. Happy to be a Select Angler thru Pure Fishing.

Capt. please keep doing exactly what you are doing... you come straight out on topic... from the heart... don't rehearse..... say it like it is ... we love it !
10-4....on that.
Great video. Nice to hear someone give advice who actually does it for a living. I have been attempting to damage my Uglysticks for years- just can't do it. I love the same two models you review with one slight difference. I have the two piece model on the medium power which is perfect to lug on the New York City subways. lol
I dread to see the "improvements" in the new series. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I never met a graphite rod I couldn't break.
I love my 7' GX2 1 piece Med-Heavy rod for Calico Bass pacific fishing here in San Diego, Ca, the Rod is still a beast!
I think GX2's's are a abortion! Shakespeare has lost all the will to dominate.
Thanks for sharing, I love my Ugly Stik Tiger!
Here in Northern California, it’s common to see medium action Tiger rods as the charter boat rods. They are used to drop feathered rigs for rockfish, ling cod, and halibut. Then on the same trip, they will be used to troll for king salmon. They are very versatile. Many of us pair our Tigers with older made in USA Penn reels.
I HATE PENN REELS....But use lots of tigers.
Gotta show love for your videos. Enthusiastically original, keep ranting man! the more I know the better. Keep up the funny videos for sure!
The tiger rod is a extremely versatile all around rod imo. I use them for both cat fishing and surf. I have a 6500 C3 paired up with a tiger lite and a 7000 C3 paired up with a tiger stik, matches made in heaven imo. Both have been used extensively at the coast and both have hauled in their fair share of channels and flat heads.
Capt. Dave, I have commented on your reviews multiple times before. It was in regards to the TR 100 and TR 200 reels, and the Ugly Stik White Catfish and Striper rods. I own both of those rods now and use them everyday I am fishing. Like you like to say they are durable to all get out man. In fact, I came down to Florida, in Pompano last year, and caught 2 small Nurse sharks using the White Ugly Stik Catfish rod. I love em'. And now you come out with this review on the Tiger Rod. Last Year I bought this rod in the 7' Med 1pc. 20-50 3/4-6oz. version for my Flathead catfishing back at home. For the price there is NO WAY you can find a more durable rod than that. And then top it off, you go and talk about the Curado 300. I've owned one now for 5 years and it's the most vesitle reel out there. I feel it's one of the best reels ever. Keep speaking the brother! You Rock!
Soooo..... you've seen this video too: ua-cam.com/video/uWSxZ_DTTAI/v-deo.html Proving that there ain't a Catfish out there that'll do this. "On a Ugly Catfish rod", of course.
Spot-on review of these rods. Thank you sir.
+panamacitybeachbum 10-4 glad I could help.

Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters I'm a cat fishermen but the big waters don't get too much publicity on UA-cam
Great rods. I have two and they are with me now in Trinidad and Tobago doing some great fishing. Had one of them for over 10 years. Never had a problem with it.
I seen this rod at Bass Pro Shops and didn’t get it when I was there and should’ve. After watching your vid it’s time to go back to get it. Awesome vid by the way.
OR, help support this channel rather than the BPS coffers and go to my Amazon store, INSTEAD : www.amazon.com/shop/captdavessportfishingcharters
I have 2 tiger rods one is 16 years old I'm a catfisher I love my tiger rods. One of them is a spinning rod with an Okuma epixor 16 years for this rod the other one is a tiger lite with an Abu Garcia 6500 c3. Both rods are 7 foot and have fireline. I have ul ugly stick unfortunately the tip guide got smashed but I landed a 16lbs channel cat on it in my friend's boat it had a Pflueger president reel both handled the fish great.
Awesome video. I am a Tiger too with Penn Battle II reels. I destroyed the tip guide though using braid.I have a jogging rod that I use for trolling.
I use nothing but braid on these rods and my tips are just fine, and I bet my rods get used 10X harder. So??
Good stuff. Appreciate you on confirming my Ugly Stick life. It's like you were preaching a good sermon. Sound like my people. -St. Mary's GA
Got 50 plus Uglies, they work in my charter service.
captdaves.com Loads of more rof videos on my actual channel, in Jax Fl.
Great review. I just purchased a vintage Penn 209MF brand new on eBay and you convinced me on getting this rod to pair it with. loved your video and you made me a subscriber to your Channel.
oh thats VINTAGE alright!!
Yes it’s vintage. But it’s new in its box never used so it’s going to be a nice reel.
very slow and in saltwater maintenance heavy, keeping tjat green off that vintage shiney chrome pieces. when ya wanna up grade to Timex tough and low maintenance, watch my videos about the Shimano triton TR-100g
Yep these rods are fantastic I have had mine for years.. catching every from grouper hog snapper to 60 pound catfish...love the stainless steel eyes on mine...rod hooks up well...
Not everyone sells the rods with stainless guides. I bought some and love them. I have stainless guides. Now looking for a heavy jigging Tiger Lite.
hey dave, great video. im headed to the skyway pier in tampa some time soon. im a huge midwest freshwater guy so i can fish. but im lost as to what to take. im brining my catfish and musky gear just for strength. what reel do you reccomend for the pier. i hope to use alot of lures so i will be casting.
capt dave, love your video.
William Greene - You are so right in praising these rods! These are great rods at a great price-point. I have BOTH Spinning and Casting Models - the same rod - in 7 foot but in 2-piece - since I travel in trains & buses. Same strength - 10-50 lb line rating. Casting a 4-oz sinker without straining - can handle more - great backbone. 7-foot length is good for tight quarters shore casting where a 9-footer+ might be unsuitable - overhanging trees, etc. What I did do was replace the metal guides with Fuji Hardloys - advanced aluminum oxide -- because I was concerned the metal guides - especially the tip guide, might groove. Easy to shave off the top black winding and leave the bottom red underwrap in place. The Spinning model comes with FUJI aluminum oxides already installed. The other great thing is they come with a BIG reel seat - Fuji size 24 - so you can put both small and big reels on them. I use them for shore fishing - big carp and catfish. Of course, they're great for kayaking and boat fishing.
I use all the guides that come with them I'm heavy saltwater fish that run a hundred yards without thinking about it or longer have no issues with any of the guides for carp and catfish you're totally doing Overkill. This is an old video anyhow now they all have ugly tough guides on them even though I like those guides better they changed over no issues here
@@CaptDavesSportfishing Many thanks for your follow-up! They got so many things right with these rods. I think I did veer into overkill.
@@williamgreene3192 I'll never understand why catfish and carp guys use tackle I'd use for 100-200 pound sharks, or 40 pound redfish in 4 knots of current, in 50' of water! They ain't blue marlin...!! Those 2 will clean your freak'n clock!! as a kid I'd catch 20-30 pound carp with 8-10 pound test cheap azz mono, a small abu garcia reel and a 5' bluegill Ugly stik. long shank hook with fermented horse corn stacked on the hook and two split shots, near a rocky dam and spill way......because it was light tackle and fun! I see rods for sale that make me cringe. Someone started all that BS, and then they use the cheapest piece of crap reels. GOOD GAWD!
Great video, Ugly Stick owes you a commission. Bought 2 after watching this.
adam mclane Well, at least we have a new member of, team TIGER!
Thanks for the education on the tiger rod
I don't fish the biggest of water like you but I love ugly stik as well. Awesome video,ugly stik salute! I appreciate the more expensive rods but man there is just something about an Ugly Stik that's beutiful. Fish on!
+SURGE1898 I DON'T appreciate the more expensive rods, because I've had them all and they all have broke, especially in the hands of customers
+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters I hear ya,good point. I'm buying another Ugly Stik tomorrow of the previous model because they are disappearing off the shelves! Its awesome to know your die hard Ugly Stik fan. I love them too,my favorite rod brand hands down.
+SURGE1898 I'm a fan because customers don't break them. Just put two Daiwa Salist 20HC's on two Med. Lite Ugly's for personal use, like 20 minutes ago........
I have been my who life. Thanks for backing me up.
Gotta show love for your videos. Enthusiastically original, keep ranting man! the more I know the better. Keep up the funny videos for sure! I meant to post on this profile.
I noticed nothing was said about saltwater and those chrome plated guides. How are they holding up?
Marvin Alarcon because they aren't chrome....I said, I believe they are stainless. THESE are SALTWATER rods.
Never been called... Enthusiastically original
*****
"Heavy-duty chrome-plated stainless steel double-footed guides" this is straight from basspro.com regarding the tiger. Ive heard chrome is a big nono in saltwater, flakes relatively quickly. "THESE are SALTWATER rods" your right about that.
Marvin Alarcon THEN BASS PRO SHOPS IS WRONG. Mine do not have any chrome anything. Many catalogs are, when they have so many to sell.I'm thinking about ordering 6 more, just because the guides are so tough, because people have no respect for my tackle and yesterday a guide on a regular Ugly broke from all the beatings. The new GX2 rods have super guides, even tougher. Too bad I don't like the action of them in 7 foot. There's "dead spots" in the bend.
Good point and glad to hear they're holding up. The gx2 was my first choice with all the hype, they have very similar guides to the TFO salmon rods. The problem with the GX2 is the moderate action weve come to love is gone, on top of that the lure rating is nowhere near what the tiger can handle. Im gonna go stop by and pick these up. Ive gotta go check that mobius out. Ive been wanting to video log fishing trips for the benefit of others. THANKS for all your help. SUBSCRIBED!
Whats your opinion on the newest model as of 2018 of the tiger rods. I've seen so many mixed reviews on qualty compared to the previous few years (I have tiger from 2016) and I dont want to get a new one if it means there will be a step down in that category. Love the videos by the way, great quality content!
I have two of the newest ones with the rubber gimble butt and Ugly Tuff Guides. It is what it is. The same blanks and will catch fish all the same as the others.
Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters Much appreciated! Look foreward to adding another Ugly Stik to my lineup.
Mine with the rubber gimble won't fit scotty rod holders, frustrating
Great video! I have both if those tiger rods. They're great for fishing out here in Southern Cali. I also have Seeker stealth series 8' deckhand style and Penn bluewater carnage 7'10" both those I use for offshore fishing for dorado tuna yellowtail flatlining and surface irons. But still can't beat the price for the two ugly sticks that I use on jetty and pier pulling good size fish with no problem and both are old hand me downs. And just like you said they're perfect for my wife and kids when I take them offshore bottom fishing. Just overall love the video cuz no one else goes thru the rods like u did.
Thanks......but I have to admit. Those California rods and all that swag out yonder, crack us East coasters up.
Been using mine damn near daily!
Why does the California rods and stuff crack you guys up for? I never understood that
-lots of "bling"....and no reel seats, sometimes..
Ya we don't like reel seats it's easier without them and u can put reel where u want it. And bling is Cali style nice and loud lol. But there's things we say about u old timers that need to catch up.
Old timers.....yeah. Ole school'ers......ROCK!
Just received a 7' med heavy tiger rod. Impressed with the strength but the rod isnt straight and the guides arent lined up good. I dont think it will necessarily affect the fishability of the rod but i expected better quality control. Ordered directly from Shakespeare/Pure fishing and considering returning the rod.
I WOULD....I'd call them and complain! And ask for a free return label. YOU calling them to the carpet shows your concern as a user/liker. Which makes quality control hopefully better for all. Call PURE FISHING in Iowa......thats the HQ. I do not pander to sub-standard. I want what I paid for.
What brand reel covers you use, I've been looking for some that work without having to reel the line in. Nice video.
I just buy bundles on eBay of the sizes that I need I have something like 68 reels and rods kufa I believe is the name of the company
Hey Capt Dave... after watching your vid several times Ive become quite interesting in purchasing a tiger rod. Im abit confused between the regular tiger and the tiger lite.... would love some advise. I do saltwater fishing from a boat... mostly over and sea weed beds.
+Barry Beharry www.uglystik.com casting versus "other than casting"
Thanks for the review. Will be picking one up for sturgeon season! What reel did you say you were using ?
I use many of the Shimano triton 100G, but also love the Daiwa saltist 20 black
Thanks Dave! Getting ready for sturgeon season haha
NICE VIDEO I HAVE BWC 22O2 2 OF THEM I ALSO HAVE BWS 2201 2 ALSO NICE RODS
Awesome video Dave. I don't use bait casters so for me finding a good "swimbait" rod has been pretty difficult. Do you think the Shakespeare Ugly Stik Tiger Lite would be a good purchase for lake bass fishing? Throwing 1-3oz swimbaits.
I'd highly recommend you start being a "baitcaster", because baitcasting is way more versatile than spinning tackle. When people go on my boat they learn that's a fact real fast! You could use a Ugly tiger lite for that, but the bass world has a million other rods that could work, too. But, you'll probably pay more and get a rod that'll be too stiff and brittle. The Tigers are soooooo tough. I could throw 1-3 oz. all day with them, depending on action.
The tiger rod would be overkill for bass. You should check out the Ugly Stix gx2 rods, intercoastal (if they still make them), or if you're sure you want to use 3 oz lures, then go with the big water rod rated for 10-20 pound test mono.
I just got a new Ugly Stik Tiger Elite rod thanks to your advice and information in this video that you provided, thank you. I also have a question, to pair up with the rod, I got a Lews Custom Speed Spool Baitcasting Reel, do you have any experience with this reel, its a pretty expensive reel, retail being at $259.99. If you do have any experience with this reel, please tell me what you think of it.
if I was spending that I would have bought a Daiwa Ryoga. If you're a youngster, you don't know all they've done is use the Lews name. Kinda like JEEP, its just a name. Lews was a old low-pro reel when I a kid, most don't even know that! I had a Lews speed spool. LEW CHILDRES was his name, no mag BS, v-spool slowed down the spool. ua-cam.com/video/iQxjvXEIgYg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8rwcfIrAXtA/v-deo.html
@@CaptDavesSportfishing Thank you, and yes I'm a youngster, but I've been fishing for 5 or 6 years now, since I was 7.
I watch all your videos man, about to go out of Oak harbor tomorrow. If I see you I want an autograph! LOL. Later, nice video, and going to home depot tomorrow. Awesome tip!!!
+Gary Smith Oh and why dont you go for grouper and snapper? That boat could do it in 2ft or less....
+Gary Smith this boat could do it in 6 foot or less and has LOL..........I have NO interest in offshore fishing, long runs, rough water and the party boat mentality. My Charter Motto is, NO LONG BOAT RIDES AND THATS YOUR GUARANTEE!! Been there done that for years, years ago.
+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters Ah ok, makes sense, and ya i hate damn party boats. You get a small grouper and they say "OK reel em up! We are moving!". I dont know how you charter lol. I did it for 2 years with a guy and gave up. People puking, lines everywhere, hooks everywhere, hung up on the bottom every 3 seconds, gas prices back then were 3$ a gallon. I guess gas is good now so. But you have a tough job. Went out yesterday and most beautiful weather in the world. Not a damn fish. Well if you call about 6 weakfish a score. Still learning the area. But good day, better than being at work haha. Anyways, getting off topic. Bought a tiger rod yesterday. Thanks for the review!
+Gary Smith yeah, that wwas a tad off topic. number one, I'm not a party boat! People want me to be. Been fighting it for over 20 years. I'm a light tackle inshore guide / charter. BEST days are 2 persons, and least versatile days are 4 persons. YES, Yesterday the tides were terrible. a 3.5 rising tide made for NO incoming current, and it was also a high low tide, too boot! Just one Black Drum for us all day at the jetties, but at least that was the "targeted species". Your days are based on the tides, around here. I tell people plain and simple.
Always Great advice bro!! For me I still stick with the Ceramic guide eyes. However I don't fish Ocean. Interesting POV, have never had a ceramic pop out. I will keep that in mind!
Dang, they pop out all the time, with enough bangin' around.
I've had power pro line cut through the ceramic eye. It left a sharp edge and I would cast and it would cut the line.
Them some cheap guides for Powerpro to cut thru them. Owned 100's of rods, and have used braid since day one with Berkley's Spiderwire and never seen any cuts.
It's happened to me twice. Fuji guides (supposed to be good) One was with 10lb Berkley Fireline on a medium weight/ medium action Ugly Stik. The other a Scheels brand Tournament medium weight/ fast action rod. 20lb power pro. BTW, Berkley makes Fireline not Spiderwire. Spiderwire is made by Stren. Both are owned by the same parent company however. Pure Fishing.
Yeah, I know all the same companies. I don't use any of that Fireline or whatever that stuff is. Just braids of multiple brands, & cheapest BULK. I order all my rods from Pure fishing.
Well I'm late they discontinued that tiger lite rods and now they make the ugly stik tiger elite rods and i wanted to buy that and put 20 pound monofilament line on the rod. But i want your opinion about the Tiger elite rods
LITE AND ELITE, SAME SAME....BLANK
2020 Golden thank you :-) Tim from Tasmania Champ for sharing Mate
TASMANIA?? I'd rather be there. Australia has even nicer Ugly's I think.
Great video. I think they might have replaced that lite casting model with an elite. I just checked their website.
The elite is all about being a GX2 blank. Which are terrible
Hello! Can use multifilament whith this rod? Thank´s
Nico Tchili of course you can! Use any filament you want. I use Braid 100% Zero mono.
Hey Cap, I know you’re using the medium light because of the action. But would it make diamond jigging 8-10 oz or bottom fishing eel with 8oz impossible? I’m in the north east looking to go out for striped bass. Not much casting or trolling from party boats. Would I go with the medium heavy then?
YOU WANT THESE: ua-cam.com/video/lu9eeJ_Ogow/v-deo.html and here's a long story to some more cool tackle ua-cam.com/video/47OtSe4dffo/v-deo.html
This exact rod is my favorite boat sturgeon rod!
I switched completely. Ugly Stik Tiger 6'3" Jigging" rods, even nicer.
Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters
Nice! The 6”3 jigging rod will be on my top Christmas list. Thanks for the info Captain!!

Fantastic rods in every way
Nice set ups boss
yes this is an old video but i am currently searching for a good saltwater set up for snappers of all kinds and any bay fish except the snappers. what reel is that?
thank You
Shimano Triton
Hello sir what’s the best match casting reel on this ugly stick tiger casting rod
what ever is the best YOU can cast and afford...I use: shimano 100g's exclusively!
Hey Dave, great videos. Would you suggest/use that 7ft ML for trolling?? may have get my hands on one...
trolling for what....it kinda matters.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing Yes sir, overlooked that part.. would you think its suitable for trolling nearshore from a little boat for Bonito, Kingfish, and some blues, nothing too extreme. Thanks again Capt Dave
@@patrickreilly8555 OF COURSE, mine do some during the inshore summer duldrums Between this OLD video and now I have al new ones with the SS Ugly Tuff guides. But really my lightest versions really are used for live Croaker fishing for Monster Speckled Trout in the summer heat.
I notice the video was posted October 2014. I've also seen your vids regarding the Catfish and Striper rods. Are you now (as of Sept 2016) currently using the Tiger rods? I've noticed in the comments that Ugly Stik was making changes. (?)
I have a TranX 500, and was considering the Catfish, a la the combo in the vid where you hook into a 100# shark. I was also considering the Striper for 2 Curado EJ's I have.
I'm slow in shopping, since time prevents me from being a crazy active fisherman (though I'm trying to repent). Do you prefer/ recommend either for these reels?
dont know own any tranx reels or curados ant longer, Im fishing different reels and only catfish or striper rods. please go to my channel and follow along if you want updated info, versus this old video
***** 👍
Thanks, will do
Do you think the medium light would work for catching huge flathead and blues in rivers
I have no idea about a flathead or a blue cat. But the Medium Light can handle BIG REDFISH as light tackle. (I have many Big Redfish videos...... So I'd say more than YES..ua-cam.com/video/e_zNOhPCOik/v-deo.html
hi Captain. i want to ask what is the best guides of ugly stiks? i heard some of the model cannot endure in salt water using braid and get rough. tnx
they are all moving towards ugly tuff guides www.uglystik.com and they are super. don't know diddly about freshwater rods. I talk saltwater only.
Capt Dave should I buy Tiger rod with steel or aluminum guide? I do a lot heavy fishing like big blue Catfish. Tiger Rod MODEL # BWC220270 or BWCAO220270?
Di Ly Either works just fine.
What is your opinion on the 2018 guides, they look way more fragile than the older tigers ( 7' 2 piece medium action)
as I have mentioned in NEWER videos about Ugly Stiks (Tackle Junkie Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLK-ee3q-bFR1KbO87Xy5S_hzfU77kPrgp.html) I LOVE THE UGLY TUFF GUIDES!!!!
Did you have zip ties securing the reel to the rod? Haha, guess I'm not the only one to do that. I always thought it was a good idea just a a backup. How big of fish have you landed on the tiger rods?
NO, the zip tie is a hook-hanger..I discuss and describe it all in the video. No rods need zip ties if the reels seat is worth a flip.
I dig your vids man
Hey Capt Dave, what can I fish with an Ugly Stik Tiger rod medium light with a 12 to 30# rating? I ordered one online, still haven't received it yet. I can always return it for a medium or medium heavy. I'm pretty new to fishing. My ideal weight in fish would be from 1# to 15# to eat but for fun a 16# to 30+# would be nice. I can always get a heavier rod later. So is this rod right for me. I mostly want catfish but I'm up for catching any fish. Mostly fresh water fishing for now, maybe later some saltwater fishing. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
crazynlove101 ANY THING....I use mine as the "do-all's" ua-cam.com/video/uWSxZ_DTTAI/v-deo.html mine catch Big Redfish and these are far from a Kitty kat in fresh water.
Hey capt dave i do inshore kayak fishing in Jacksonville fl. What uglystik to you recommend for bottom fishing finger mullet with a half ounce to 2 ounce sinker . fishing for reds and trout!! Thanks in advance!!
+Heath Bryant A med. action 6'9" Tiger lite, a 7' Intracoastal from Walmart, or a 7' Catfish.
I had one & pull up a 45kg giant mekong cat with no problem with these Tiger, my friend use a jigging p.e. 5 & it breaks
Capt. Dave Were do you recommend buying one ? Is it better buying a new one or an older ? Thank you for the information.
www.uglystik.com 🤷♂️......... new/old doesn't matter
@@CaptDavesSportfishing I thought older tiger rods are better than the ones. Thank you for your quick response.
can you please tell us more about the reel an what test of mono are you using?
Shimano Tritron 100G 30-50 pound BRAID. No mono.
Are these Tiger 8 foot rods any good for trolling bunker spoons for striped bass with wire?
I have no idea , mine are 7 foot. I'm a Florida guide, we don't do bunker spoons and wire line (hence the video's description)
also the model no. of the lite casting rod on curado. thanks
DON'T KNOW
Question Mr Uglystick ambassador.. Looking to pickup a med. 6.9 ugly stick tiger lite. With all the new ugly stick out..is there a better recommondation? I already have a Heavy tiger lite.

hi capt dave..
how much drag does it have in that reel??i have a reel which have 15pound max drag is 15pound drag is enough to fish 50pound fish?? or i can fish even bigger than that??
Bidhan Joshee you can land a Marlin with 15 pounds of Drag. I don't know what my reels are/
Nice . I agree 100%
Man could i be your neighbour , having a beer in this garage , talking'bout fishing stuff !

Everytime i would take my softail out , he would compliment it and tell me a story of when he and is pals were riding .... Weird to admitt but i do miss him, reminded me of my grandpa and his war stories.
same here, my neighbor died and was a good friend for 30 years. New young couple came in and changed way too much. Yep, PBR, aluminum boats and tackle talk is what I do in my shop.

I seriously doubt it. It's all up to you. But I've owned 7000 Abu's and have had Tarpon 100 pounds on them.
Picked up an Ugly Stik Tiger with an Okuma Avenger Reel for only $25 on craigslist! I've landed some meannnnn catfish on the rivers, and it's tougher than a bag of nails. I an Offshore Angler (Bass Pro brand) Power Plus Pro......Wayyyyyyy thicker eyelets, and way cheaper. Same exact rod, but only $25
+LRO1986 Ya get what ya pay for in rods thats for sure.
I own an Ugly Stik Tiger Lite 6' 6 MH Casting rod, and I live in Wisconsin lol ;)
You must have good taste.
good review capt
Thanks......got two more Tiger rods yesterday! L-O-V-E.
hi capt dave,
is there 2pcs medium heavy tiger casting rod model in the market??
Bidhan Joshee not sure go to www.uglystik.com
Hi, i I have been fishing with husband and im curious if this rod is also ideal for me to use? Or if you can help me and suggest what is the best rod for me to use? They catch sturgeon the other day and im being challenged :) I will appreciate it so much! Thanks!!
+cleng I have no idea about Sturgeon. Never fished for them, never seen one alive, just on TV.
What model number is the second rod you talked about
amzn.to/3deJZje - catches it all.
Got a penn 760 live line would a 7' med casting rod be nice or a med heavy.....
no idea what a penn 760 is....if its a spinner I don't use any spinners. Can't stand them! don't use a casting rod for spinner reels.
Tried the ugly stik tiger medium light for porgy and sea bass here on the east coast.Best rod for bottom fishing I've ever had.It had the backbone to lift them into the boat yet a sensitive tip for feeling the lightest bites.Don't see any reason to buy anything more expensive.can buy two of these for the price of one of most rods.But sad to see that they are coming out with a new model and discontinuing it.Tbh these companies need to learn not to discontinue or change something thats already good.As a smart man once said,"If it ain't broke,don't fix it"
YEAH, THEY ARE SO CALLED IMPROVING THE RODS AND I GUESS NO MAKING THE "LEAST SELLING" ACTIONS.
They are taking the Catfish rod and making that in to a regular Ugly Stik too called the Big Water or something. I like the retro color of the Catfish being ...white.
***** The wraps on the older tigers were prettier and didn't look so cheap.They looked awesome for such a budget rod.But my major gripe was the guides.They looked thinner than the old tiger rods.At least they were smart enough to keep them all metal and no insert.The big waters look ok but I prefer the old yellow and red wrap.Companies today need to learn that if something isn't wrong with the product and people like,then don't mess with it.The only thing I would've changed would've been to make the butt a little longer,but I could live with the rod as it was.Other than that it was perfect.
+Maverick Hunter companies like Shakespeare went years with no major changes , and now are going nuts! Some good, a lot really bad, evidence is the really bad GX2!!!!!
hola soy de argentina! podria recomendarme donde las compra usted, quisiera comprar la caña Shakespeare Ugly Stik Review en 40 y 50 lbs.... gracias espero su respuesta
Bass Pro Shops or Tackledirect.com, Martina.
***** GRACIAS!!!!
Hi dave or anyone listening ,. I fish the intercoastal waterway in FLA , I use big 6500 plus bait runners and want to toss big live bait out in the current from a pier , can you recommend a spinning pole that will chunk a 10 to 20 inch whiting or mullet the farthest ? im not worried about breaking but there seems to be a demand between loading a road properly and a rod that is stiff enough to throw large baits ,. I have a shakespear 7 foot MH rod but it still doesn't have the backbone to chunk something huge . and it would have to be a spinning pole not extremely long but something stiff enough and will load a big piece of bait .
AND YA KNOW UGLY STIK MAKES LONGER RODS. REFER TO UGLYSTIK.COM
Dave been watch your videos and been looking for daiwa sealine, I have shimano 1000L s and a beast in the daiwa 2000L EX do you think they will hold up as well as the daiwa sealine ? I have 3 1000Ls 1 2000L EX a real beast
not familiar with those, so I don't know. Sealines aren't made any longer. search ebay.
Wish I could find a Tiger ML 7', no where to be found...
Wanting to buy the first setup you show, where is the best place to buy them?
EBAY!
Will the medium light tiger work well for large flathead? I don't want a really beefy rod
+Tristan White I have no idea.....I fish saltwater! Not freshwater, not catfish, but rather Big Redfish etc.
Tristan White you bet. Makes a 25lb blue cat helpless to resist landing.
Would that ML action rod go good with the abu garcia 6500 c3 baitcast reel.
Timothy Mcvay don't know why not.
the rod that you have your baitcaster on it, whats the lb test rating for the road? and conventional rod whats the rating for that? and Do you have the Ugly Stik Light spinning Rod? If so what do you think of that and being used with a penn Battle 6000 with 40lb Power Pro Line?
+Andrew Collins I use 30-50 pound braid. I have some light spinner rods with 20 on them.
+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters thanks. Also i just ordered the tiger stik jigging spinning rod in 50-100lb rating and going to be putting a 6000 with 50lb vermillion red line on it but dont know what leader i should. i wanted the rod to be paired up with this reel because it in my mind would be a great combo for bigger freshwater saltwater fishing. so what lb leader do you think i could be using?
+Andrew Collins Braid to mono leaders, first off the best knot is a FG knot, and the leader has all to do with what when and where you're fishing so I can't answer that
+Andrew Collins I have a few Ugly Stik LITES for customers that are spinning rods. I us no line (braid) larger than 50-60, so I have don't know what the line rating is. But I bet it's 50 or less "Mono".
How does this compare to the Ugly Stik striper in your other video?
way heavier action.
I'm now, all Catfish & Striper rods, since they improved them with the new guides/eyes and gimble butts. (BUT THEY ALSO IMPROVED THE TIGER RODS ALSO)
Really appreciate the details description on all of the Ugly Stik products. I really like the way you describe the action of each rod. I can relate to the way the rod feel in your hand. Thank you and keep on posting.
and what abt the tiger rod is it strong enough for 60lb fish??
If you're talking the Tiger lite, the one called "HEAVY ACTION" I have two of them and they'll beat even a 60 pound fish!
Same for regular Tiger rods........HEAVTY ACTION!
good for snapper in florida!!!!
that is a braced guide !!! good guide!! if washed off after use!!
+bigfish454m Ya mean there's people who don't care for their tackle? They hold up.
Hi. Wanted to ask a quick question. I have just purchase the new tiger light jigging cast rod. 7ft heavy. I'm about to do my 1st 3/4 fishing withy brother in law and he is telling me my rod will snap on the 20-30lb yellowtail that were are going after. I pair the rod with a daiwa sealine x 30sha spool with 25lb mono.
Thanks MP
THE HEAVY TIGER LITE??
No way I have two of them and they will handle about anything.
I plan on plugging this summer with mine for 100-200 pound Sharks.
Uglies don't snap...tell him that! All those High graphite expensive rods Snap!
+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters wow im back at this video after almost a year..lol just a report..I was hulling in time after tuna...my arms gave up on me...lol.. very good rod.. ive got all my expensive rod on the wall for show and when I go out I grab the tiger for anything over 10lb..
+Master Peon guess the bro in law was wrong......
Yeah he said let's see if it will pull a shark and I told him let's try it on his expensive tuna rod first..he decline
+Master Peon THE UGLY LITE HEAVY ACTION......thats a boom stik compared to some rods i've had 100 plus pounders [sharks that is] on.....it'll do sharks ez.
Is this Ugly stik Tiger rod a spinning or bait casting rod? (Because here In this video it is not spinning reel)....
I do not discuss anything eggbeater.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing Hi, I missed your point of rod model....
(BWC = Bait caster) 👍
@@naturegreen7233 ''BIG WATER CASTING?????'' I have extremely educated thumbs, and can even DRIVE a standard transmission, don't need a crutch. The type of fishing I do mostly ''benefits'' by using conventional reels.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 💯
So I got a question, you've stated in a few videos that you dislike the GX2, I was just curious as to why? I had one but ditched it for striper rods, plus the reel seat on it seemed like cheap plastic junk
Samuel Theysohn the finish, the dead spots in the action, the uncomfotabe reelseats, do I need to go on???
Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters No that's good lol
hahaha......are ya sure?? I AM PARTIAL TO OLE SCHOOL UGLY'S.
Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters Yes haha the old Uglies are awesome the gx2 i hate the real seat feels like plastic off a kids toy
Yep, best rods for the money Period. I've got 6 of them and wish I had more.
These were the old school tiger rods before the stupid ugly tough guides the guides these rods had were better but it's not like you can't buy these exact tiger rods anymore uglystick.com
Just watch talk about daiwa reels that u have to get from Japan well that's what the shimano bantam 1000L and the 2000L EX they were only sold in Japan back in the 80s I would like to send u pictures but don't know how. I buy most stuff off eBay and I have got few surf rods with the light tips that I question but after watching your videos I see why the tips are that way but they have serious backbone can't wait to get a big fish on 1.
Again....no one EVER looks at the video descriptions (click ""show more"") or actually goe to MY CHANNEL: ua-cam.com/users/captdavessportfishing
where there's the page called ""ABOUT"", both places my website is listed and from there, my email.......ALSO, there's a "discussion page"", No one ever uses! PLUS how can anyone miss my website? It's on every single video. No need to send. I know what a monster Bantam looks like. You never said "bantam" before. If you want to chat, Yes, I prefer NOT to use YT comments section for that. Just email instead, or go to discussions page.
I'm in jax Florida thinking about getting ugly stick
+Bailey Frankie thats nice.
