[QUOTE="frankc, post: 334251, member: 13054"] We have used Ugly Sticks for many years, as they stand up to abuse well. The first two graphite rods I bought soon lost their tips against a boat top or other damage as the children were young, so we went to the sticks. Lately we have been using the $16 Walmart Shakespear graphites which do a very good job and are cheaply replaced. They do a respectable job on reds up to to 34" or so with spoons or topwaters. My favorites are handmade Fenwick rods and a couple of nice graphites which we enjoy, but half the time we have the cheap Chinese Shakespears in our hands. There is no snob appeal with the cheap rods, but they all catch fish. I don't get too involved with the modulus of a rod normally, but can understand why others do. Some like Fords and others want BMW's. [/QUOTE]
