Ugly that won’t quit, no matter what’s biting.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Ugly Stik adds to its legacy of producing tough-as-nails fishing gear specifically for anglers who just want to have a good time with the addition of an Ugly Tuff combo series, new Catfish Special rods and Catch Ugly Fish spinning combos.

The new Ugly Tuff combos pair both the Ugly Tuff spinning and casting reels with an Ugly Stik rod with a Clear Tip design. Representing the apex of durability, the reels feature aluminum construction and stainless-steel ball bearings to stand up to the toughest fights. The rods and reels featured in the Ugly Tuff combos also come with a 7-year warranty.

Specially designed for casting to catfish from boats or banks, the new Ugly Stik Catfish Special rods feature legendary Ugly Tech construction for guaranteed strength and sensitivity. The one-piece Ugly Tuff guides and Clear Tip design ensure maximum durability and performance, while the full EVA shrink-tube handles provide the surest grip when fighting big cats.

Ugly Stik anglers are no strangers to camo, whether it’s worn for fashion or concealment. The new Ugly Stik Camo combos combine the legendary strength and durability of Ugly Stik and features Mossy Oak’s top-selling camo pattern, Bottomland. Available in spinning, conventional and spincast combos, all models feature Ugly Tech construction, Ugly Tuff guides and the Ugly Stik Clear Tip design making them ideal for most freshwater species.

Ugly Stik’s new Catch Ugly Fish spinning combos deliver anglers everything they need to start fishing right away. Three different models are designed to match an angler’s desired fishing location or species (lake/pond, catfish or surf/pier) and include the rod, reel, tackle storage and a selection of Berkley soft and hard baits as well as terminal tackle to suit the area or species for which it will be used.
