I like Fenwick, Great rods for the price, much better than Ugly Stix.

Forty years ago, I liked Fenwick. Are they still in business.

Shimano,Finwicks and St. Croix for me,from musky to crappie...

TFO - temple fork outfitters are real nice and so are StCroix . I believe in buying good equipment and keeping it

Two completely different rods

after fishing a St. Croix , or any of the better poles you are going to wonder how you ever felt anything on that ugly stick

7' Daiwa Presso UL spinning




Google that.

Everyone comparing a top of the line gloomis or fenwick to the ugly stik....we told him ugly stik because he wanted a mid tier rod....not a 150 dollar unit 🤣🤣🤣 of course a gloomis is going to be alot better for most situations than an ugly stik.

G. Loomis for me. We have a bunch of them for everything - from 7”ultralights to walleye rods to jigging rods to steelhead and salmon rods. Long ago i was on the Loomis pro staff. Later was on the Lamiglas pro staff - they make great rods too.

Use Shimano Sustain reels on the good rods.

Try something exceptional if possible.
