Sensible anglers have chosen the versatile and value priced Ugly Stik for its durability and sensitivity since the 1970s. Made with Ugly Tech Construction, a combination of graphite and fiberglass, the Striper Spinning Rod provides tremendous strength in a rod that's tough enough to withstand getting banged around a boat for years, yet is sensitive and well balanced. Ugly Stik rods feature 1-piece Ugly Tuff guides, made of a single piece of stainless steel to eliminate ceramic guide inserts popping out and resist saltwater corrosion. Staying true to the original Ugly Stik Rod, the Striper Spinning Rod has the legendary Clear Tip to enhance strength and sensitivity. Durable EVA handles provide all-day casting and fish-fighting comfort.
