I have an ugly stick striper rod thats rated from 12-20lb line its 7"6 and medium light action. I have an abu 5500c3 on it and im about to spool it up with 10 or 12lb fluro clear line. Im going to buy a medium heavy setup for jigs, spinnerbaits, and worms and I cant get another setup for a little while and fall is on its way so if I got a deep diving crankbait rod I figure it wont even get used untill next summer.
