bjl33: This is one of the best rods I have for the money. I put it right up there with my St Croix and shimano's that are four times a price.

Cthulhu: Dunno must have gotten a factory one-off. box was damaged upon receipt. guides were misaligned, no biggie to correct. rod had a slight (like 3⁰) curve up toward the tip, probably due to the box being practically bent in half. small dots of epoxy were to be found on the edges of the guides but none in a way that would impede line, however longterm said line may wear a groove in said epoxy and chafe itself. This rod does swing easier that my 6'6 medium 2piece GX2 (which reportedly weighs 6.6oz, I never weighed it though).. I did weigh this one since I couldnt find the information anywhere and had a scale kicking around.
The 6'0 medium-heavy 1piece ugly stik elite weighs in at 6.7oz.
endgame, I like the carbon better.. I just wish they made THAT in a 6'0. Rod will go back since the bend in the box makes me think there might be damage or stress fractures to the glass/graphite inside that will show itself in a few years use. The reel tensioning area design is poor - a small piece of cork for your hand to grip with the rest being formed/shaped plastic. I did notice the reel seat was not of fuji make which for an 'elite' rod was a bit surprising and honestly might have brought...

Kevin A: Cannot go wrong with an ugly stick elite. This is 7 ft ultralight two-piece. Nice cork handle.

blind guy: My wife wanted a lighter pole for catfishing she is a tiny woman. I own lots of ugly sticks, 12 I think. We catfish and occasionally offshore and pier fish. In general Ugly Stik rods are awesome. This one fit the bill, she has landed a few 30 pounders and set aside a little small for the job it is an awesome rod. We have a Kastking 4000 reel on it, little over kill for the rod but for fish not. We have 50 pound braid on it. About 2 years now really good rod and no issues. The plus is it is light for her, strongest than most and fishes great.

Greg Smith: I have the ultra light Ugly Stik G2 and this one by comparison is infinitely better. Better action and feel. It holds stronger. Feels more durable all around. The cork handle is nicer. Definitely sticking with the Elites.

Otherthrakker: This is my go-to spinning rod for live bait with circle hooks for bass and pike fishing. I am extremely impressed with the quality, the material and balance is all very good. It is a very fun rod to use with excellent response and feel. The Elite is significantly more sensitive than my medium heavy GX2 casting rod. On top of that, this rod is extremely durable, as expected from Ugly Stik. Overall an excellent product for the money, I am likely to buy more in the future.
