Duo Jig rod or Uglystick
Submitted by Dean on Tue, 2007-10-02 13:16
Just want some opinions of anyone that has used these rods or knows something about them.
Last jig rod was broke on the weekend (stripped of the eyes) but was only $20 so looking at upgrading.
Tossing up in my head
uglystick (probably a black tiger)

I currently have a ugly stick
I have a Ugly stick blue water jig rod PE8 that I use for bottom bashing at the moment. They load up nicely, there light enough, there not overly expensive and come with a 10 yr warrenty. And the other bonus is being fibreglass and not graphite composite they can take getting knocked around without busting easily.

jig sticks
The Ugly stick bluewater jig rods are nice but they're graphite composite not glass. The new series has actually increased the graphite component also to another 40% .

just looked on the ugly stick site, my bad! As said they are graph composite, I was under the wrong impression all along. oh well, still a good rod.

Pm sent ryan Have heard

Have heard loads of good reports on the black tiger, but will be difficult to get one no doubt. 11kg drag would stretch the arms Mav, don't think my Pfleugar would unleash that sort of drag as it broke on a 6kg snapper...
