Ugly Stik Carbon Inshore Fishing Rods - Impressions and differences 

Penn and ugly stik is all i’ve ever needed fresh and salt water fishing. Definitely going to pick up one of these rods.

Coming here after you went like "LET ME SHOW YOU MY OTHER CONTENT" Loving your sense of humor. Great content Thank you very much

Ugly stick rods are great. Their ulta light spinning rod has been in my quiver for 30 years. It's the combo my dad got for me whenever I started.

Ugly stiks are my favorites too, thanks for the information👍

Thank bud that helped… love ugly stick

Funny intro 😂. I just caught a 26 inch California Halibut on the medium light spinning 2 days ago. I love how it feels. The color is so much better in person

This is the first time seeing it. Being that it’s a year later, could you provide an update on the 7’ medium casting rod? Has it held up? Do/did you enjoy it? Would you still recommend for freshwater? Thanks!

I haven't seen or heard about this model of rod, but will look out for them now. Looks like something I could make use of, and I like the features you've mentioned. Ugly Stik do tend to be more of a budget rod than others, but they sure do stand up to the test. Rare to hear complaints about them.

finally , a review which includes real world uses not just parroting the numbers. Hadn't considered this Inshore. Now I have to take long look at it over the Elite . Inshore definitely better fits how I fish (only freshwater...but it's bigger river , Sacramento River). Stripers , King Salmon if they ever bounce back on CA coast. Also fish the surf & rocks from shore .

Some good details in here 👍👍

Great video! People give ugly stiks a bad wrap but I have them on my 2500 spinning all the way up to my penn international deep sea

I go surf perch fishing a lot and I always use a spinning reel. Penn Pursuit 3 to be exact. I don't really see people using baitcaster reels on the surf. Penn Pursuit 3 is for saltwater fishing and they're super easy to take apart and clean if you drop it in the sand. Super durable smooth and a good price.

I grew up with ugly sticks. Large mouth Bass in the Virginia lakes. No rod ever lasted long in my hands, but I think the car door killed more than the fishing ever did.

Thank you for the video. I'm looking at getting the carbon inshore for freshwater striper, probably no bigger than 30lbs. I want the Medium 7ft due to the handle length but I'm concerned that it won't be strong enough and I should go with the Medium Heavy. Since I'll be trolling mostly I wasn't excited about the longer handle and getting it in and out of the rod holder. Maybe it's not a concern but I don't feel I need the that much handle. What are your thoughts? Will the Medium be strong enough for those stripers? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Ugly Stiks used to be considered decent rods. Back in the 90's folks would swear by Penn reels and Ugly Stik rods. I know I did. Never had one fail me. I've been away from fishing for 25 years so maybe they've changed.

First time watching a video from you and that ending killed me 🤣

I'm fishing with a ugly stik elite Medium 6'6 (Pike, musky) for 5 years now (asking myself why it didn't snap yet lol), and a ugly stik elite MH 6'6 for inshore (baitcast) Mainly fishing stripper bass with this one, got a nice flounder (35 pounds) with it. I won't change them!

Lol you earned a sub in the first couple minutes

I have a bunch of different Ugly Stiks, GX2's, Lite Pro, Intercoastal and a big surf rod. But lately I'm jigging for flounder a lot and the Ugly Stiks I have aren't sensitive enough. Yesterday I looked at the carbon 7' spinning rod and I liked it. But I wonder how much more sensitive it is. I use 1/8-1/2 oz jigs most of the time and I'd put my 2500 size Penn Fierce on it with 10 lb braid. Do you think those rods are sensitive enough or should I get a $100 St Croix or something similar?

Can the red carbons be used for saltwater?

LOL. I love youre common sense and humor. Keep it up.

Cracks me up. Some of you are probably watching this on your dads bass boat.

This is good content. Everyone should like and subscribe!

I bought a spinning rod of this rod and fyi I really don’t think it’s worth 100 it’s more of a 50 dollar rod with the way it’s manufactured. I’ve been through 4 of these rods because every time it came in the mail they were defective, 3/4 had noticeably unaligned guides or the reel seat was just completely off with the guides, one also had a grip that came in the mail loose ,there was zero quality control with these rods one of them even looked like they forgot the threading step on one of the guides (it was literally almost just glue on a guide with zero threading I never seen anything like this), 2 out of the 4 also had a bent tip when they came. This is just yet another reflection on how ugly stik has gone downhill and does not care about quality control like they used to. I get it’s not an expensive rod but for 100 I expected better craftsmanship and quality control than the typical rod. And before anyone says it’s ugly stik what did you expect I’m gonna let you all know now the older ugly stiks I have are built 10000 times better. The problem is that all these companies don’t care about their products anymore and how terribly they are put together and it’s ridiculous. I will not be trying again with this rod since everytime I receive it in the mail it looks like a child made it and there’s no shop near me that sells it.

There is nothing wring with ugly sticks for general use. The freshwater selections are not good for specific applications.

What’s wrong with you man 😂😂
