This is my 2nd rod/reel, because i just bought a cheap one from wal-mart to start out. It broke, of course, so i went looking for a better one, for a good price. I looked around and Shakespeare's ugly stik had high ratings and was cheap, to i got that for a rod. I went down to a bass pro shop and the guy reccomended me the pflueger president. It has a 10 bearing system, and overall looks really nice and i got it for just about $60. Do you think its a good setup?

though the ugly stick isnt the most senstaive it will definantly catch fish. dont get disouraged it will be fine. the president is a very solid reel and will be a great reel. sounds like a nice solid setup that should work for you just fine

Decent reel ,rod sucks though. JMO

Should suite you just fine...

The reel is one of the best values on the market. Save up for a new rod.

Yep. Excellent advice.

If you catch fish, then it's a good combo. A lot of equipment can be attributed to the Indian and not the arrow.

well the ugly stik has high reviews, and its durable, so im not sure what could go wrong with it. Its not like im shark fishing.

The sensitivity is awful.

It's a good $30 rod. But unless you are topwater fishing with it, you need sensitivity or you will miss soft bites.

well i really do topwater fish, i use the rubber worms/grubs, and cast out and start slowly bringing it in. and i mostly depend on the fish hooking itself, i dont think i've ever set a hook. well thanks everyone for the replies.

Nothing is going to go wrong with your ugly stik , it's almost unbreakabele and it's ok for people who aren't into bass fishing too seriously. It really is at the bottom of the barrel for bass fishing but thats all some people need.
