Last, but not least, I have 5 rods. 3 Ugly Stiks which which I've had for years and love, a Daiwa and a Shamino. The Daiwa and Shamino were free, so they don't count. Seems we're all with you on liking the Ugly Stik.

I would have to say " Tell me you're not serious" when I hear about you buying a rod for anything over a hundred dollars. I'm cheap. I wouldn't know if those rods are really any better. On my budget, I would be afraid to use one that expensive.

Lizzy, I am kind of late posting on this topic. However, I just needed to add that Ugly Stik rods are my favorite also. I have other more expensive rods, but, primarily fish with the Ugly Stik because it is dependable, strong, and does the job I need every time I use them. You are so right, expensive doesn't mean the best always. BTW, I think that Ugly Stik's manufacturer ought to build you a "pink rod" for all that you have done to promote fishing with Ugly Stik's and all the "fisherbabe's" you are lining up to purchase them.

It is not the size or kind of rod that counts, it's what you do with it.
Tight lines and bent rods

Hey fisherbabe, hang tough, I have been using ugly stix for years and they are tough and durable, I have even closed the trunk on and ugly stick and it is still in my rod arsenal. Let them all tease you, but you are right on, you can't beat an ugly stick for the price, and they are always dependable, no matter what you fish for. Yes there are more expensive rods, but I don't think you can sacrifice dependability for light and pretty. Enough said!

Glad to find another girl who enjoys fishing! I get crap all the time about the rods and lures I use. Hey, if I think it's pretty and it works for me, who cares, right?

Keep using what you like, Lizzie! as long as it works for you - GREAT! Ugly stiks are tough rods. There are a lot of people outthere who equate fiberglass rods with cheap rods - its simply not the case.

Does my 45" pike count for more than your 45" pike because I caught mine on a custom Musky rod and you caught yours on an Ugly Stik?? Hell no.

keep on doing what you're doing

I own two ugly sticks, so preach on sister. Honestly, they have yet to let me down, and I've owned more expensive poles that broke.

My favorite fishing rod of all time is this Mitchell. It was on discount at Wal-Mart like 12 years ago, and I picked it up as a backup rod. Little did I know that 12 years later, a few over 3lb bass, many a fish, and a 8lb walleye later that it would still be going strong.

I'm with ya on this post.
