Ugly Stik has designed this series specifically for catfish. All Ugly Stik rods feature the Ugly Stik Clear Tip for sensitivity Ugly Tech construction for toughness and durability and Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless steel guides. Fishing has gotten too pretty. Unscratched sparkle barges with nuclear-powered engines. Rods that act like skittish thoroughbreds instead of unshod workhorses. Fish pictures taken for ?likes instead of refrigerator doors. It s time to fish the way it s meant to be done with tough durable tackle built to provide ten whopper fish pics for every one of some dandy holding a fancy rod and a fingerling. It s time to fish ugly.
