All the legendary toughness anglers depend on that's a given. But the Ugly Stik Carbon Casting Rod offers a crisper action with increased sensitivity, and comes in weighing significantly less than previous models. All told, this stick is more responsive and easier-handling than ever. You'll love how it feels in the hand, yet it lacks nothing in the toughness department. The Carbon Casting Rod has it all: Ugly Stik's lightest-ever Ugly Tech 24-ton 100% graphite blank with super-sensitive solid graphite tip; Ugly Tuff 1-piece stainless steel guides for corrosion resistance and durability regardless of line type used; and split-grip handles with golf-style grips for added comfort and control. Manufacturer's 7-year warranty.
