Ugly Stik Tiger Catfishing Rod Review

Everyone knows that the Shakespeare Ugly Stik "TIGER" rod is the king of catfishing rods. We've used these rods for years for trophy sized flathead catfish, blue catfish and even channel catfish. But for MONSTER FLATHEADS you absolutely have to have a powerful rod to turn them away from snags,logs,rocks,etc. The Ugly Stik TIGER will move them with no problem!
Tigers come with Fugi graphite reel seats with stainless steel hoods, EVA foam handles with three different styles of end Caps. The blank through handle design is one of the reasons these rods are so great but the patented Howald process is what makes the TIGER rods stand out from the rest. This process builds TWO different types of blanks into one. The inner blank and an outer blank. The inner blank is made from spiral wrapped graphite fibers giving the rod sensitivety and the well known fighting power of the ugly stik. The outer blank is a layer of longitudinal E-Glass fibre's giving the rods surface a nice smooth finnish along with more backbone. Follow the link for a great deal on UGLY STIK TIGER rods on Amazon.
