  • After breaking one of my older fishing rods, I decided to try out the new Ugly Stik Elite Series rod with single piece guide/eyelet construction. The rod ended up performing very well and helped me to land a few AWESOME fish!

      I go fishing saltwater on docks and rocks jettys .should I get the medium or medium heavy?do these rods feel heavy like the gx2?

    • @SaltyStrikes
      @SaltyStrikes Před 4 lety

      O Zar ... they are definitely lighter and I was would go with a MH. 7’.

      @fishlikealocal2549  Před 4 lety

      I would go medium heavy. Your spots sound like they could hold some bigger fish.

    I use this rod for 40m depth offshore fishing, really great for catching 10 pound fish

    Do check the top guide after two or three fishing sessions, you will notice deep grooves created by the braid or even mono. Good luck !

  • @elijahschneider1151

    I’ve been thinking of getting this, the issue from me buying one is I’ve been hearing mixed reviews of the sensitivity. How would you rate the sensitivity?

    • @fishlikealocal2549
      @fishlikealocal2549  Před 3 lety +1

      It’s perfect for my liking. Several years on it now and still going strong.

    Just out of curiosity bro, do u always close the whole drag each time u hook up a fish??

  • @Rjasper499
    @Rjasper499 Před 5 lety +1

    Have you noticed and sort of issue with the top guide, like grooving? I've heard that occasionally can happen to these stainless steel guides.

    • @fishlikealocal2549
      @fishlikealocal2549  Před 5 lety

      I have heard that but not noticed any grooves or marks on the top guide. I have fished the rod hard for the last month which consisted of landing around 60+ fish, several of which were 20”+ and 30”+ from about 10-15 fishing trips. So far it has held up extremely well, including a trip through baggage claim to go to the Bahamas.
      I plan to do an update review video here soon to show how it is holding up over time.

    I have literally the same setup but a 9’ I’ve had 30 lb braid and now I’m trying 15 lb mono I keep getting bird nest casting my cast master 1 oz and suggestions?

    • @fishlikealocal2549
      @fishlikealocal2549  Před 4 lety

      Probably have too much line spooled on it. Being that I use live bait about 60-70% of the time I fish I only use spinner reels and not bait casters so I’m not too familiar with them.

    • @langan9000
      @langan9000 Před 3 lety

      Its the braid that's causing the birds nest. Switch to mono or fluorocarbon and you'll have way less issues. There is just too much friction with braid for bait casters it catches on itself and doesn't cast out freely like mono does.
