Bluewater rod thats suitable for all styles of fishing...
The Shakespere Ugly Stick Bluewater series of rods are simply fantastic!
The Bluewater series are built upon a graphite 'Howald' process blank, and this usually means a triple directional wrap of carbon weave which makes the rod stiff and responsive to use. These rods are full carbon and are very sensitive and have a great deal of power especially when casting XOS lures for Jew's, Jacks and larger estuarine species - it would also double up as an excellent live baiting rod for Bull Sharks or other mentioned species!

ve is matched to a Daiwa Exceler 4500DA loaded with 30lb PE, and feels together in its use, however heavy it will not succumb to the vigour's of heavy lure casting (upto 100grams) and trolling of large 200mm plus bibbed lures. I found that the rear grip was a little too long to tuck up into my arm pit / shoulder when popping and working a minnow so I have shortened it by 2.5cm and this little alteration made all the difference! Some people may prefer the butt length as it is, as it has a gimble butt cap, however for spinning / luring its better a little shorter - try to salvage the butt cap as they're $22 to replace! The guides are well spaced and there is a nice cure to the rod when fully loaded, with no stressful angles exerted onto the line, the guides are Fuji Alconite however seem to look like the Fuji Silicone Carbide's, some online shops say either guides are set onto the blank and there is no way to truly know as they don't say anything on the feet other than Fuji...1 comment

Confirmed that the Fuji guides are Silicone Carbide. These are as good as you can get on such a cheap Ugly Stick rod! Love it!
