Anyone use a Shakespeare Ugly Stix Big Water Trolling Rod for muskies? If so, what length? Thinking about giving one a try due to the low price.
Thanks

Yes I have two 10' Ugly stix they have held up great even pulling big baits.
I would get them. Lots of people that saw mine and used them all bought them.
Good luck,

Frank,
They are BWDD 1100 - 10'0"
I have been very happy with them. i have not ran giant baits with them, a friend of mine runs plows on his. But i have ran 10" belivers, MX9's ,10" scubas, 10" Musky Magnets and 13" grandmas they have been great

Thanks Jeff after 30 years of casting arthritis is forcing me to learn how to troll and save my casting for the last 2 hours of daylight.

I will second Jeff on the Ugly sticks he is using. My cousin uses a tiger light for his live bait set up too. Like the rods, prices, and durabiity.
