Bilbotc2 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Hi all, Thanks in advance for your input and hopefully minimal amounts of ridicule. Thinking about starting the young-uns off in the hobby and was wonder how much damage I'll do to their abilities buy starting them off with the $30 ugly stick combos....10 and 12 yrs old. Are they that bad? I know they are supposed to be indestructible....but they haven't met these two. Again thanks. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted May 2, 2014 Super User Posted May 2, 2014 If they're clumsy or destructive, ugly stiks are a good bet. If you want a good graphite rod that's a little lighter, look at the Ambition rods from ***. The 5' Medium are really nice rods for $30. Quote
Blues19 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Like Tywithay said, if they are destructive, go with the ugly stick. I have the 4'8" UL and have caught many many many fish on a 2" Chartreuse grub. Not the best sensitivity, but it will catch fish Quote
kingkong85 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I would get this over ugly stick. http://www.herzogfishing.com/product/Lews-Speed-Stick-Spinning-Combo-6-M-2pc-5.21 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 2, 2014 Super User Posted May 2, 2014 Yea... Go with you're choice on ugly sticks.... Maybe they work up to a better rod and reel Later... But at that age? Yea... Go Ugly!! Quote
