      Comments about Shakespeare Ugly Stik Underspin Combo:

      Reel is horrible. I love an underspin like this, however, I fished twice with it and had two issues. The first time, while casting it hung up and cut my line. It was right out of the store! The second time, the reel hung up while I had a line out in the water. Looks like a stripped gear.

      It was a father's day gift and a shame I couldn't use it. Trading it in as soon as possible.

            the reel is nice till you get it wet than its not good at all. first time out it was raining and within an hour the reel had a very rough retrieve and then it would not reel in at all. im taking it back tomorrow and going back to my shimano ix 1000r with quick fire i have had one for about 10 years and it is so so smooth as for the rod i like it but think its a lil stiff at the base for a light weight rod.

              Comments about Shakespeare Ugly Stik Underspin Combo:

              Bought the 5' version that came with a closed face spinning reel for my kids to use about 5 years ago. It is tough and I have borrowed it from the kids for use on my fishing kayak (really ideal for that). It is really basic but the rod is really tough and the cheap reel works fine and has held up to kid abuse. I like the two part rod version for camping and kayak transport. Only thing missing is a hook keeper. For the price it is significantly higher quality than other similar priced combos I have seen. Action is pretty decent for the money...but of course don't expect it to match the high end stuff. I have very expensive fly fishing gear (my real fishing love) and can't see putting a lot of money into a setup for the kids that most likely is going to take abuse that the manufacturer never
              intended ;-( I still remember the very first time my son used it...he was so excited he forgot to make sure the two piece rod was snugged together...so his first cast the rod tip went flying in the river...luckily the line held and we were able to retrieve it. At that point I breathed a sigh of relief ...that I hadn't loaned him one of my expensive rods...and the same thing happened...because you know that if THAT had been my rod...the rod tip would have
              been lost ;-)

                  Comments about Shakespeare Ugly Stik Underspin Combo:

                  The reel is small but i bought it for the rod. I had a big lure but ugly stiks are known to be able to bend incredibly. So the pole broke in the middle and I still use the reel.

                  READ THE WARRANTY IT IS HORRIBLE. You pay the shipping and handling to and fro which living on the other side of the usa from the manufacturer would cost me MORE THEN BUYING A NEW ONE.

                      A:

                      Brim, Smallmouth Bass, maybe a few Large mouth if they are not on the heavy side.

                    • A:

                      This is really a panfish setup, brim etc. Not really for larger bass whether they are largemouth or smallmouth.
