Has anyone used these Bluey Ugly Sticks? They're only 3'9" in length and I thought it might be a good s/p rod for fishing under piers and docks from my kayak or canoe.

$69, full price for half a rod!

thanhs, Shoey.

No way I'd use one if I was paid! They fold right over on themselves and have no sensitivity! Yes they are cheap for the price, but I can bet you'd get twice the enjoyment if you went and bought a short graphite rod.

Pleeease don't buy and ugly stik for breamin'! :)

I think they are made for children, not adults who are serious about fishing. You can also get lunchboxes, etc in the "Bluey" range from Shakespeare.

sheesh Scorchy it was evidently just an idea, no need to poke fun.

ive got a uglystik 2000 3'9" rod.. probably the same deal.. soft and floppy as hell.. but hey, it works too.. it was my first ever plastics rod and i could cast 1/32 jigheads comfortably with it.. its even caught a couple of decent fish.. like a 4kg queenfish.. .. not bad for a noodle stick.. ehehe..
