8 foot ugly stik fishing rod Elite Spinning The Ugly Stik Catfish Special Spinning Rod was specifically designed for casting for catfish from banks Ugly Stik Elite Full Review:

They are all built extremely well, have a good bait keeper, and are light and sensitive for the price

The Bighorn isnt the best to look at or feel, but its better than similarly priced models from Cortland

Reasons to Buy Effective on recently released hatchery trout Beginner-friendly bait thats easy to fish Youre fishing for wild trout Consider Another Model If You prefer more active presentations Youre a catch-and-release angler Bottom Line If you like to hit the pay ponds and stocked lakes and streams, start with Berkley Powerbait as your bait to land those hatchery-raised trout

Works well here on Lake Fork

The gear ratio of the reel, which determines how quickly you can retrieve the line, is also important
