David 7 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Ugly Stick is coming out with a new combo but honestly, it’s kind of underwhelming. The reel looks good and seems nicer than the Shakespeare that normally comes with, but my current ugly rod is just as good. I’d rather just get the reel. It says it’s made for saltwater (the reel) but it’s only a medium rod. I think it’s for saltwater. I guess it would be good for that application. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 22, 2021 Global Moderator Posted July 22, 2021 A saltwater medium is a way different animal from a bass rod medium. I have a "medium" catfish casting rod that I lob 5oz of lead plus another half pound of bait with. 1 Quote

It'd probably work as a medium swimbait rod - the Bigwater medium is rated to 3oz. https://www.purefishing.com/products/bigwater-spinning-rod-1405250 Quote
