If you're thinking of buying a Shakespeare Ugly Stick, my advice is not to. I made the mistake of buying the 4 piece spinning rod, 5 to 15g, 6 foot long. Perfect for light spinning, to take with me to Poland, I thought. It was a pile of junk. It was heavier than a 10-30g 7 foot 4 section rod I already had. The balance point was a good 6 inches beyond the handle. The action was floppy but you'd need at least 20g to work it. If you did that it would be no pleasure holding it all day.
A pile of rubbish, worse than a telescopic glass rod you can buy for a fiver. Shakespeare usually supply decent tackle for a fair price but they should do themselves a favour, and ditch this rod, it does their name no favours at all.
