Quick take
A 100% graphite casting rod at 30% lighter weight than traditional Ugly Stik models while maintaining toughness.
This one-piece 7-foot casting rod pairs a graphite blank with medium-heavy power and a fast tip. It handles 12 to 20 pound line and lures from about 1/4 to 1 ounce, which suits bass-style jigs, spinnerbaits and crankbaits. A split EVA grip and a Fuji reel seat keep the setup light in hand for long days on the water.
