A follow-up look at and review of the Ugly Stik carbon, now that it has been on some canoe trips and provided me with some meals. This is not a sponsored review, and I get nothing for expressing my views here. I simply noticed a lack of consumer information about this product and wanted to do my part.

I just accidentally hooked a massive carp on it yesterday and let me tell you, it damn near pulled the rod outta my hand and bent it completely in half and it handled it no problem! Never had a carp eat a bass bait (lizard on a 3/0 EWG) and was surprised to say the least. Love mine so much I bought two. Great review and keep it up!

Yeah carp are weird i had one eat a chunk of bluegill

I use this COMBO daily. I have caught up to 5 POUND bass on this over 250+ times and it is exceptional. No breaks, no cracks. I run 20lb Braided line on it and it holds up perfectly. This is the GX2 on steroids, and lighter. AND better looking with an exposed pole grip. If you can afford it, get it, it is badass without question.

Update: Still performing excellent. Pulled two 3lb largemouth our yesterday and 18 other decent little guys. I love the combo. However for PERSONAL preference, I switched the Reel to my “Lews Carbon” reel that obviously performs better than the Abu, and also matches the color AND name of the rod coincidentally. I still tell everyone to go buy one every day if they ask about it. I love it 🔥🙌

@BigEZ213 3 года назад

What size reel?

@franklinfocus 3 года назад

@@BigEZ213 the Abu that comes with it is a 2000. I have now switched to a 3000 Lews just for personal preference

@BigEZ213 3 года назад

What do u fish for mostly? I just ordered the ugly stik carbon 7 medium heavy but deciding which reel too order still

@raj1634 3 года назад

Any suggestion what to get a 1 piece rod or 2 piece rod?

@lambyrides1068 3 года назад

Solid review! I've been an ugly stik guy forever and just bought one. Cant wait to take it out! Also, the camera angles aren't horrible, little bit higher would be good but still entertaining!

@gorillajoe999 2 года назад

How you feeling about it a year later?

@Custodians-of-the-Ardh 3 года назад

Nice review Mark, love the fishing footage, camera angle isn't all that bad honestly, beautiful fish, and what a gorgeous boat! I know you put some love into that. ^.^ Miss ya bud.

I’m someone coming from an abu Garcia black max rod castingcombo rod- would this rod be solid for light to medium weight bass jigs?

@jk22222sd Год назад

It looks great! Would you recommend this for Salmon or Steelhead Trout??

@vmanukraina6343 3 года назад

Thank you for a great review! Very professional!

I like how no other rod will take the abuse of a UGLY Stick. Fast is stiffer them a moderate rod. I got a big learning curve with medium light fast and a old medium light rod's 🤔⁉️ something different I don't need to pull it the same. Only thing less fiberglass faster. The tip is hallow from the top to the handle I broke my rod tip trying to pull a trout out of the water and snap 4 inch off So I fixed it and it's more stiffer now- 🤷o well- I've been waiting a carbon fiber rod thank you for the review now I know bass fishing 🎣 will be great or tiger musky fishing rod.

Thanks! Great review, been wanting to get this rod your info was the clincher.

@codypatton7908 2 года назад

I really love your hat. Where did you get it ?

@brandont3675 3 года назад

Do you feel the rod too whippy is is there enough backbone with a soft tip

@dawsoneverest9234 3 года назад

From my experience with the new Carbon series, they are more comparable with modern day rods. Stiffer backbone with faster tips compared to the old "grandfather type" rods with soft, slow/flimsy action. Ugly stik did a really great job with the carbon series imo to compete with other companies

@bigZg59 3 года назад

I dig the hat! where did you get it?

@tommywagemann9512 Год назад

I think fast action usually means stiff because if you wanted fast action on your lure and instant action as you twitch, jig etc., a softer rod wouldn’t telegraph as well as a stiff rod if that makes sense?😂

@krispyk.1786 5 месяцев назад

Halfway - a medium moderate would be just as excellent- it really comes down to the materials that the rod is made of- The Gx2 is a mix of cheap graphite and fiberglass- it makes the rod heavy, cheap, and affordable, These rods while more expensive- upgrade every performance mark dramatically- there’s even moderate action options if a fast tip isn’t your cup of tea! (My favorite for crankbait)

@nickpurdy 4 года назад

Awesome video! What lure are you using?

@raj1634 3 года назад

Nice video, any advice on what to buy a two piece rod or 1 piece rod

Used this rod as of day of release 4 faulty rods so far i only own ugly stiks and this one is J U N K

@moratheexplorer5791 3 года назад

Is this rod durable like other ugly sticks sir ?

@hohmannalgoma576 3 года назад

It's been through a year and a half of hard use, unprotected in the car, strapped to the canoe on portages, and even strapped to my bike from time to time while bikepacking. Some of the shiny red finish has worn off, but it's still holding strong.

@Truthhurt 2 года назад

not even close

@fan4life345 Год назад

Got a new 7'3 one piece medium fast......best , most durable rod for under $100 in the world!! Paired it up with a sz 35 pfluger supreme XT for $170 and it's killer!

@jsantef Год назад

I just bought a baitcast model, very disappointed. I have numerous Ugly Stiks and this one's quality stinks. Several of the eyes threads are not fully covered with epoxy. Going to finish coating them myself. Not worth the effort to return.

@spencerhollenbeck102 4 года назад

Hay I just got two of the carbon rods in a bait casting format and the two rods broke one a medium heavy fast and the other a medium fast be vary cautious do not treat it like it’s a gx2 totally different rods

@hunterbengtson6583 4 года назад

Would you say the gx2 is stronger?

@alexthesniper1952 4 года назад

Ofc it's weaker dude it's 100% Graphite not 25% like the GX2.

@alexthesniper1952 4 года назад

@@hunterbengtson6583 yeah if you're not bass fishing sure go with the all fiberglass GX2.

@jasonkmvang 4 года назад

Exactly what I wanted to know lmao ill just stick with the good ole gx2/elite then, thank you!

@franklinfocus 4 года назад

False! I’ve been catching up to 5lb bass on this DAILY and it holds up fine. I’ve already caught 250+ fish with this and it is a TANK. It isn’t a fatass like the GX2, it is MEANT for sensitivity and durability. Idk what you’re doing to break TWO of them but you’re clearly doing something wrong.
