## Description

The Ugly Stik Tiger Elite jigging rods are versatile rods that can be used across many species from coast to coast. Utilizing Ugly Tech construction, these rods give anglers a significant advantage, and the Ugly Tuff guides provide excellent corrosion resistance with no insert pop-outs. The Tiger Elite series features higher graphite content for lighter weight and increased sensitivity compared to previous generations, while maintaining its legendary toughness. Fishing has gotten too pretty. Unscratched sparkle barges with nuclear-powered engines. Rods that act like skittish thoroughbreds instead of unshod workhorses. Fish pictures taken for ‘likes' instead of refrigerator doors. It's time to fish the way it's meant to be done, with tough, durable tackle built to provide ten whopper fish pics for every one of some dandy holding a fancy rod and a fingerling. It's time to fish ugly.

*by R***E on 27 October 2024*

Works very well. Been using ugly stick my whole life. Obviously not top of the line but for the price you can’t beat. I run this with 3000ft of 80 braided on it with no issues. Easily pulls up all the fish I catch and I don’t worry about breakage at all. Stays in garage or on boat in salt water. Stands up so far. I also have 6 other ugly sticks going back to the 90s. Seems quality is the same. Love this pole. The feel is great and the flexibility is right on for holding large weights without a lot of bend. When a fish hits you know. Also has a lot of strength to pull snags. Use out at islands off California.
