Ugly Stik Complete Spincast Reel and Fishing Rod Kit

I like the fact it's compact and seems pretty sturdy. A 7yr old boy had no problem using this and caught his first fish. So yeah definitely worth its price.

This is an amazing rod for beginners. I personally use this rod for cat fishing. I use this for cat fishing because I am impressed by the functions on this rod. One of the best fuctions is the portability with the telescopic design it makes it very convenient for me to go fishing. And you may think the durability isn’t good due to other telescopic design are that durable but this ugly stik rod is one of the most durable rod I have you can use this for catfish,carp,bass and even ocean fishing! And the amazing white color makes it more unique since either rod are mostly black these rods are kid friendly for 10-14 year old! I would always use this rod and you guys should buy this!

Perfect pole for someone who’s never fished before

I grew up using an Ugly Stik that my father said belonged to him when he was a kid. I'm not sure if it's that old, but I've still got it with a similarly old zebco 33 as a backup. I figured it's probably not the same, but the brand has at least got a decent reputation so I'd give this one a go.I got this for my 10 year old son whose beginner zebco reel gave out. He has decided he's too good a fisherman to use that "kiddie" stuff...opinions on that matter may vary, but he HAS gotten good at casting his old one and could work my spinning reel pretty well, so I got him one he'll feel is adequate for a master like himself.We haven't gone fishing yet, but he's taken it out in the yard to practice and has no issues working the reel to cast or retrieve. I like the rod a lot- the action is good and, being a lighter action than his old rod, I think it'll feel like little fish are bigger. The reel isn't anything fancy, but it works well. The included line isn't what I'd pick, but it will work for now.Overall, I'm not just wowed by this rod/reel combo, but I feel that it's a good value for the money spent. It's definitely suitable for a 10 year old who has a little experience, and it's good/inexpensive enough that I'd consider another one for myself when fishing for stuff under 8 or 10 pounds.

I purchased this for my niece a few months ago and we’ve been going out fishing a couple times a week and it’s held up great so far. The reel seems kind of cheap but still works so far. I was a little worried about the telescopic part of the pole causing problems or breaking but I’ve been pleasantly surprised it’s been handling the catfish and everything else she’s caught without any problems. I’m picking up another one now to take in my suitcase on vacation for some saltwater fishing in the Keys.

I give this rod 5 stars because of its functionality compared to the price. With that said, this is not a high end rod, but it does work just as good as its $100 - $150 counter parts. I purchased the saltwater version because I primarily target striper this time of year. On the first day I received it, I cast it about 100 times with no issues and caught two stripers (pictures). Again, this is not a high end rod, so don’t expect to preform like its higher end counterparts. However, it does what it is made for. I would recommend changing out the prespooled mono line with braided line for better casting (the picture is with the braided that I had changed out). The mono line it comes with works fine, that’s what I caught the pictured stripper with, but it doesn’t cast very far with mono. It comes with a 7 year warranty on the rod. Also if you don’t like it, then your only out $36. Great backup rod also. Enjoy!

I proudly have the worst fishing channel on YouTube "George Does Stuff". While it may be terrible I love fishing!! I am also cheap!! This little rig is SUPER cheap! The rod is everything you expect with an Ugly Stik. Inexpensive, wiggly and tough as nails!! I really enjoy the fact that it's a two piece so it's easy to throw in your vehicle and have a rig ready to go whenever! I will say I do NOT like the reel. It's good for a beginner but I upgraded mine to a Shimano Sienna (500) which is a very smooth reel for $30. The kit comes with some great stuff for creek fishing. Highly recommend!!! This is 3rd one I've purchased!

Constantly coming detached. It looked used when I received it.
