Ugly Stik Tiger® Elite Jig Casting Rod, 6'3" Heavy Fishing Rod

tiger elites are awesome jigging poles for the money.i use them for kayak.fishing offshore for tuna, wahoo, billfish. paired with a Penn slammer 10500 and about 700yds of 70lb braid and flouro too shot. I've stopped 30-40lb wahoo 100 lb yellowfin no problem. will flex into a U shape when fighting big fish, but still able to pull on it without breaking. I have yet to not be able to land pelagics with the Xtra hvy spinning version. all for less than 100bux. if I ever broke it,I'd rebuy it again.

i have one of these IA a great rod. unfortunately the one I ordered arrived broken and they didn't have another to replace it with. but as far as the rods go they are great

The ugly stick tiger Elite casting and jigging rod, both the 5‘8“ extra heavy and the 6‘3“ heavy are amazing and wonderful rods. I specifically paired the 6‘3“ rod with a penn squall 2 lever action size 20 - the rod is a bit large for a size 20 reel (rod is slightly wider than the mounting posts on the reel) - I used a plunge cutter to very slightly carve out a tiny bit of material just on the plastic of the rod, so that the nuts on the post will fit over). I also paired the 5‘8“ extra heavy with a Penn Squall 2 size 30. The rods are much stiffer than the medium weight rods I used before; this will be extraordinary for the hard fighting grouper, snapper and Amber Jack, which would bend my prior rod completely in two (also will be fabulous for fighting the snapper and grouper off the bottom when they try to “rock you” by heading heading for cover). My prior rod (also an ugly stick) is now over 10 years old (and luckily) I'm catching much larger fish than I did a decade ago. Super exciting to up my game (both for fish and in tackle).

This was a great rod to add to our fishing repertoire. It's sturdy, feels good in hand and works perfectly with my favorite reel.

good rod for price. cant beat it.

This is the only pole I use got catching gators.

Great rod handles cobia like they are pan fish

Heard about the legendary strength of ugly stik products even though this particular rod is rated up to 130lbs the seat seems like it's not designed for such a load. Some big game reels fit better than others. However it is still great value for the money.

only three star due to inability to test the rod. so far guides and reel seating are in good condition. the size 8000 reel fit firm.

This is not a “Heavy” the one they delivered me was “Medium Heavy” and the tip broke right away. I am hoping to get my money back. Seems like Ugly Stick got less in quality and will be using a different brand now.
