Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm in a boat, UL's are fun. I have a bunch of them from 4.5 to 7.5 ft. I use them mostly for tossing small jigs.
Usually, I fish from shore with bait and use a 12-14 ft. float rod -- very fun!
GOT AN OL CARDINAL 3 ON A 4 1/2' SHIMANO, ANOTHER CARDINAL 3 ON A 5 1/2 BERKLEY, STELLA 1000 ON A 5 1/2 "v" ROD, A STELLA 2500 ON A 6' SHIMANO 'V' ROD. AN OL MEDALIST FLYREEL ON AN EVEN OLDER FENWICK 7 1/2 FT FIBERGLASS FLYROD (#5 WATE), A CABELAS SPRING CREEK FLYROD (#2WATE) WITH A ROSSI REEL. AND 2 UGLYSTIK 13' TELESCOPIN POLES. 14 CRAPPIE TROLLIN RODS, 20 BASS RODS. 4 LEADCORE TROLLIN RODS AND 4 TROLLIN RODS WITH FIRELINE. DON'T TELL MY WIFE.

I use an ultra lite Ugly Stick Spin rod and 4 lb line. Can't beat the ultra lites for action.....
I love my ultra lite Ugly stick but I hooked up with a big cat this weekend at a friends pond on 4 lb test and I worked him for about 30 minutes...and finally the line snapped and an eye broke off the rod. Was pretty fun and a fun fight though...he surfaced once and looked to about in the 12lb range or so...
Where do you guys find the ultralite Ugly sticks?
Are they warranty for life too?
