Overview
The Ugly USSPCAT702MH is a 7 foot, two piece spinning rod from the Ugly Stik catfish lineup, rated medium heavy for 15 to 30 lb line.
Built from a blend material, which Ugly Stik rods commonly form by combining graphite and fiberglass, the rod weighs about 0.32 kilograms and is aimed at catfish, matching the CAT in the model name and its heavier line rating. The medium heavy power and 15-30 lb line range give it backbone for hauling fish out of cover or current, which is typical of catfish gear.
- 7 foot, two piece spinning rod, model USSPCAT702MH
- Medium heavy power, rated for 15-30 lb line
- Blend construction at 0.32 kg
- Marketed for catfish, 4.6 rating across 540 reviews
Who it's for
Suited to catfish anglers who want a 7 foot, two piece spinning rod with enough backbone for medium heavy line and heavier baits. Less suited to finesse presentations or species that call for a lighter, more sensitive tip.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Medium heavy power suits catfish and heavier baits
- Two piece build is easier to transport than a one piece rod
- Blend construction at a modest 0.32 kg weight
- Line rating and power are too heavy for finesse or light tackle fishing
- Two piece rods can feel slightly softer at the ferrule than one piece blanks
Performance notes
Medium heavy power with a 15 to 30 lb line rating gives the rod the backbone to move larger fish and heavier baits, a common requirement for catfish rigs fishing in current or around cover. The two piece design trades a small amount of stiffness for easier transport and storage.
