What To Do With First Rod

Featured Replies

Now that I am getting "more serious" about fishing I'm trying to figure out what to do with my 5 1/2' Medium Shakespeare Ugly Stick.  Can I use it successfully for any type of fishing?  Or should I just give it to a needy child?  All ideas are welcome.  Thanks.

Welcome aboard!

They make excellent tomato stakes.   :)

Just kidding. Give it away.

Keep it.

Use it for fun pond fishing.

You can't kill an Ugly Stick.

And one day you may want to give it to your kids or a young relative.  :)

Getting harder to find good medium power 5'6" rods I'd keep it for jerkbaits, small spinnerbaits, etc.

Tight Lines!!!  :)
