Nope, nope Nice rod, BUT I ordered a medium rod but received a light. Also the threads for the reel to attached were cross threaded! unable to attach a reel without electric tape. Got fooled this time.

Man these are still the best poles IDC what anyone claims Have had this elite pro for about 15 yrs now still my favorite pole . The sensitivity is above spectrum, super tough and even though it’s a half inch shorter cause my handsome son it still the best finesse pole I have. Came to purchase another. And have used the stik for 43 yrs now pops over purchased me anything else and I for my son. #Uglywon’tquit . Neither will I quit ugly

Disappointed customer This is my third rod I have order from Ugly Stik. The first one came in a hard cardboard tube Took the rod out and was in pristine shape. It is an awesome catfish rod. Now this is where everything goes downhill. The second rod I order was very poorly package and a few of the line guides were bent. I was able to repair them myself but should not have to do repairs on new rod. I thought this could have just been bad day. I decided to order rod number 3 and t was not package the best but a whole lot better than the second rod. This is the second rod I have received new and well have to repair the rod. The line guide is nearly bent flat. Now if I paid $10 dollars for the rod I would not feel so bad but when you start to exceed $50 it hurts to know you have to repair it. I don’t like to send items back. I have to take off work and drive 40 miles to drop it off. I am at the point where I want order another rod from Ugly Stik. With all that said I have fish with Ugly Stik since the 1970s. The 2 stars is for having to repair my new rods when I get them in.
