Hey Roxanne
Many hardcore anglers might decline on the Ugly Stik due to it's extreme sensitivity. But I had a good Shimano combo and fighting a big peacock bass the rod split in two. Could have been bad luck, but I now have my Shimano Sedona Spinning reel on a 6 foot Ugly Stik. This rod is strong, no fish under 30 pounds is going to break it. It gets some getting used to it's extreme sensitivity, but so far mine has been great. There are better rods out there, but for the price, it more than gets the job done.
Good luck
