The Elite is a bit stiffer than the GX2 and typically costs $10 more, so it’s a great buy for lure fishers. But the GX2 is more versatile and cheaper.

If you need a well-built, lightweight fishing rod that's easy to tote to your favorite fishing hole, look no further than the Ugly Stik Elite. Don't let its small size fool you. It's perfectly strong and has impressive fighting power, which was proven on several occasions when we hauled in fish that were seemingly too big for this rod. This Ugly Stik was also versatile when it came to fishing styles, whether it be dropping a hook with a worm on it or just casting with a lure. It was also one of the best when it came to balancing, sitting comfortably in our hands all day long. 
Although the upsides were plentiful, there were a few downsides to consider. This rod is on the small side, so the casting distance takes a hit. This is to be expected due to the rod's size, but it's still something to think about if most of your fishing involves casting. It also has a fairly short handle, which made two-handed use a little more difficult. Overall, this rod was a pleasure to use. So, if you need a small rod that can handle the rigors of everyday fishing, you might want to give the Ugly Stik Elite a try.

I just bought an Ugly Stik Elite. I have wanted to get a good ultralight rod since I fished on an old crappy one and had a blast reeling in juvenile salmon and a gorgeous Cutty. I have to say I am very happy with the rod so far, I have not yet had a chance to test it out, but the build quality feels excellent for the price, and it looks very smart. I paired it with an old 2500 Sienna, but I may go smaller in the future when I am not a broke boy

 But the thing is you need a fairly large sinker to get to the bottom in the sound thanks to our currents. Since I would be on a boat, there wouldn't be much casting involved. What is the largest weight I could safely put on my rod without snapping it?

 However, that comes at a price.  The rod is pretty strong, and especially light. However it lacks sensitivity, and runs a bit heavy. My ultralight Ugly Stik Elite is more like a light, and my medium heavy is almost a heavy

 I returned the ultralight ugly stik, because sensitivity is key. The medium heavy ones I kept and am very happy with, because they are mostly for bottom fishing and for using some heavy lures.  That is why I say the Ugly Stik Elite should only be bought in Medium or Medium Heavy varieties, for bigger fish, where it is simply the best rod for the price range. Medium and Medium Heavy Ugly Stik elites can catch carp, catfish, big bass, pike, and musky

One of the best rods in the price range, but a few drawbacks.

 I have been fishing Ugly Stiks for many years now, and I still have the very first one that I bought; The elite is fourth in my collection!

Great Salmon rod!!

 You get what you pay for with this but I will say the cork butt and grip feels very good. Honestly the only reason I’m keeping it without complaints

About what you’d expect

 I use it for crankbaits, jerkbaits, jigging, drop-shotting and drifting baits for walleye. I'll be buying more of the Elite series!

My favorite Ugly stik

 Can cast right on a dime to get into those nice spots between trees, cover, lily pads, etc. Sensitivity is amazing, can feel every little snag against weeds and rocks and eventually you get the feel for it so you just learn to keep reeling gently and almost never snag grass. Have used this for catching bullhead and trout in a rod holder just watching the tip for twitches, shows every little bite. You still get some nice fights, but the rod always lets you bring it in

Great rod

Upgrade Pick

To me it’s the bastard child of the line-up that just doesn’t fit in it’s price point. Lots of guys like them, but to me it’s simply a $90-$100 rod that costs $150. The butts are too short for the length and power, weight is average, and sensitivity is just adequate for its price range. At the same price or less I much prefer a Dobyns Fury, Fenwick HMG, Bass-X, or the new Abu Veritas-PLX

Hi all, looking to upgrade one of my rods. I currently have a 7ft Ugly Stik MH spinning (its a slightly older heavy duty version) that I primarily use for catching average size channel cats out of a pond I go to. It is currently paired with a new Daiwa Tatula LT 4000 (way nicer reel to rod ratio, I know). The reason I want to upgrade is I want something more sensitive with a faster action so I could use it to throw heavier bass lures than my main setup can handle (above 1/2 oz), as well as being able to handle moderate catfishing, guides that are meant to handle braid and finally just to own something nicer. My main setup is a St. Croix Triumph that I like quite a lot so I would like to get another St. Croix so we can start there, maybe an inshore rod? Totally open to any ideas and ask me if there's any specifics I'm leaving out.

Help me choose a new rod?

 Secondly, my lake doesn't lend well to pitching/punching that much as the bottom is so soft that a punching rig with a 1+ ounce weight simply disappears into the bottom 12" of totally carpeted weeds (where no fish actually live or reside).  So treat my review of this specific rod with a grain of salt. I can say, once again, Dobyns Fury rods have been great and I think the company is good and reliable.

Truth is, this rod acts and performs about how it's supposed to is my guess. I was hoping it to have a little faster tip so that it could also be used for casting frogs - but it's really too stiff for that (IMO). I also find that the sensitivity is not great - but this could be as I do not use heavy power rods all that often and was looking for and expecting a greater level of sensitivity.  So, it may be unfair for me to give this rod 3 stars - as it probably does exactly what it is supposed to do

Very stiff, heavy rod.

This rod has great action, comfortable to hold, fairly light, and is well-constructed. I bought the FR 705CB specifically for shallow crank-baits to medium diving crank-baits e.g. 4 foot square-bills to 12 foot divers

 The action of this rod is the high point in my eyes when retrieving the bait and setting the hook. The rod tip is quite sensitive and you can feel every bump, tick, and wiggle coming back to you through the water. Setting the hook on a crank-bait bite is desirable with this rod, it has plenty of backbone to dig the hooks into the bass's mouth while soft enough tip to allow the crank-bait to not get ripped out or stick to cover or structure you may be pulling the around.  A drawback is that the reel seat threads are very short

 For what it is worth to you, this is my second of these rods and reels. I am pleased with both.  The rod itself is very nice and seemingly sturdy construction. The rod, with a reel, is comfortable to hold and palm with the reel I have and is reasonably light

 I paired the rod with a Daiwa Fuego CT 8.1:1 bait-casting reel filled with 10 lb mono-filament line. For what it is worth to you, this is my second of these rods and reels. I am pleased with both

  The rod itself is very nice and seemingly sturdy construction. The rod, with a reel, is comfortable to hold and palm with the reel I have and is reasonably light. The rod has plenty of backbone to me and features a fairly sensitive rod tip for my purposes. With a oiled up and/or properly adjusted quality reel and thinner diameter line, it will really fire lighter baits a good distance from you

Nice long rod with plenty of backbone, but not too stiff.
