Abu Garcia vs Ugly Stik?
http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10205073_100003000_100000000_100003000_100-3-0
would this be good for all around fishing?
(bass, catfish, striper, hybrids, some trout)
(6'6 MH 1 piece rod)
or would a cheap ugly stik be better? thanks.
The Abu setup would be decent for Bass and Trout, but not good for Catfish or stripers. There's no one rod and reel setup that is ideal for all fish.
1. Bass. Again, the Abu Garcia rod and reel will be fine for them.
2 Catfish. You need a bigger setup for them. You need a reel capable of holding at least 14 pound mono line, and at least a medium heavy action rod.
3. Stripers. Although you could probably get by with a lot of Stripers with something like that Abu setup, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Stripers get fairly big and fight hard. I'd personally want a medium heavy action rod for them, and a reel capable of holding a 12 pound mono.
4. Hybrids. Same as the Stripers.
5. Trout. Again, something like the Abu setup will be fine for them.
One last thing. Don't go with the Ugly Stik rods for anything you listed unless you are going to use them for the Catfish. They are actually great for the price when it comes to the Catfish. But for Bass and what not, they're not good. They lack sensitivity, which also leads to casting problems and hook setting issues for something like a Bass.
