Put my new one to work today on some hefty bullhead. It's softer than the medium action  IM-6 I built, but, very serviceable. For less than $40 it's just fine. I couldn't build a custom for $40.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I have many of them ,
Great ultra lights I think also jigging rods and I have two older downriggers rods that are awesome, wish I could find more of them most can get for 40 bucks and I don't believe you can build a rod of the quality for thay price
I have buddies that laugh at them cause its not a so called " quality" name, its funny I seen one of them shut a Fenwick rod in door of truck and loose his mind lol

I've owned many over the years.
Gave my first one to my Dad for fishing down in Florida.
He was using some really old stuff.
He loved that rod.

After Jeff made me the recent jigging rod, I think I get it.   ;)


I always tell neophytes to buy an ugly stik.
For the money, you simply cannot beat them.  PERIOD.

And if you buy it at Cabelas, you can always easily return it if it takes a dump.
