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.

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?
My dad bought me mine and yeah I think it's got a warranty for lifetime on it. Haven't had a chance to check yet.
I enjoy using this combo. It is a dream, smooth as silk. Pflugler president 6720 ul on an ugly stick 5 ft. ul rod. I love the action. The reel is in the Bass Pro cat. at the bottom of page 100 The post[ cracker] makes my socks run up and down like window shades. Man can't wait to have a day like that. Good fishing to all. JimmyS.

7' ugly stick "light pro" in ultra light action with the cork handle paired with the Pflueger president 6720 ultra light spinning reel. If you are ruff on your equipment like I am this is a great choice for under $100.00.
