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

 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

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

THE REEL TEST

Westin Smith

If i was going to spend Curado money (~250) I’d splurge another 30 for the Scorpion DC (~280) with the IDC5 chip instead of the IDC4 in the Curado and SLX. - For me 60 extra bucks wasn’t worth the micro gears, but 90 extra would be worth it for the better DC chip and micro gears. IDC5 chip is the same chip as the metanium DC. Surpassed only by reels $650+ containing DC7

I've been wanting to get a new bait caster and have it narrowed down to a few options. I need this setup to be as all purpose as possible. For the reel I'm between the curado dc and the slx dc. For the rod either the dobyns fury or the st croix bass x.

So here are my questions:

1. Is the curado dc worth it over the slx dc? I've heard the only major difference is the gears and I'm not sure that reeling a bit smoother can justify the price difference.

2. Is there any major reason to pick the dobyns fury over the st Croix bass x or vice versa? They are basically the same price.

3. What gear ratio on the reel would be best for all purpose?

4. What length and action on the rod would be best for all purpose?

5. Any reccomendations on where to buy/deals I don't know about?

Thanks

What baitcaster to get?

 We'll go over here in a second. But yeah, the big changes. at least performance wise, are going to be the spool. The new reel is going to have more line capacity, but it's got an Mgl spool while the old one has less line capacity

 Now with the new reel, they have incorporated an Mgl spool, the old style that's got the side wall porting there, and a couple of little holes on only one side of the spool. Now the old reel, there was no porting at all, but as you can see, they narrow the channel where the line would lay, so that means that the old reel was a 100 line capacity, while the new one, as you can see, it's wider and it is a 150 line capacity. So I'm not sure how I feel about that because the old reel. since it holds less line

 I wasn't too impressed with the looks of the new Scorpion Dc at least in the videos, but let's see what it looks like in person. Oh man, look at that. Take a look at this reel. Okay, so now that I have it in hand and I'm looking at it, I actually like the looks of this reel

8 ounces and this is the Xg model and then the Croto Dc comes in at 7.87 ounces and the old Scorpion Dc is coming in at 7.6 ounces and the new one comes in at 7.85 So a small weight gain probably attributed to the longer beefier handle, But now it's time for the more important weight and that is the weight of the spools

2021 SHIMANO SCORPION DC is HERE!!!  Unboxing and Analysis... is it WORTHY?

 Let's go ahead and get this thing spooled up. Man, I hope you guys have some kind of idea of how excited I am about this reel. Like this last scorpion, she's definitely beat up. She's seen the pavement a few times

 it is just one way. It's also best to pinch your fingers around that line if you're doing it somewhat like this. That way your line goes on the spool nice and tight, and your first handful of casts are not just absolutely terrible. And you don't get a bird's nest right off the bat despite the fact you paid big money for a Dc reel

 It's only on this side of this specific reel because I'm sure it works best with the braking system that weight offset. I really am not 100 sure. but let me know if I'm not supposed to do this because usually when you spool up braid on your reel, you'll go ahead and do a little monofilament or fluorocarbon backing. just go around a few times

 I'll go ahead and post this gear ratio up on screen. Those two actually have like an 84 millimeter handle, so it's very subtle, right? Very subtle. But this one with that higher gear ratio is just wanting to crank those fish in there a little bit more. They the engineers over Shimano I guess decided that that extra little bit of length is going to help you crank these fish in on this Xg model
