Rebel Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Ugly stik have released a new range called Carbon. There are nine rods to choose from. Come with a seven year warranty. Edited September 23, 2020 by Rebel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 They look radically different from the old Ugly Stiks we're used to. It will be interesting to see if they eventually bring out longer models to suit the beach and rock scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Looks like they finally decided to break into the graphite market after being solely in the fiberglass market for so long. Hopefully they are as good as the regular fibreglass Ugly's which I have 2, pretty solid rods for the coin!

It'll be interesting to hear your opinion. I haven't used an Ugly Stick since I built one up on a 6-8kg Guts Butt blank for a Lord Howe trip many, many years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Well it has arrived. Differnt fom the others. A lot stiffer in the tip compared to the old Ugly Stiks. Weighs in at 4.9 Ounces. I weighed a gold 7'6'' Ugly Stik I have 8.5 Ounces. Now for the reel. Made in China Doesn't give you any size or details on the rod at all. I kow it is 7'3'' I will have to look up the rest of the details. 4-7kg. Edited September 25, 2020 by Rebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the stiffer tip is due to the full carbon construction and most likely not as bulletproof as the older models. Sounds like its orientated more towards lures than bait. It will be interesting to see how it performs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
