A 7-foot heavy saltwater casting rod built for large fish and heavy tackle in open water.
This Ugly Stik Bigwater is a 7-foot, one-piece conventional casting rod in heavy power, matched to 40 to 80 lb line. Its compact length suits anglers who want strong backbone for big saltwater or heavy freshwater fish without a long rod to manage. The graphite and fiberglass blend, Ugly Tuff guides and rubber gimbal butt are set up for fighting large fish.
