I use a couple 20-50# Ugly stick Tigers up here in S.E. AK f or jigging halibut and redsnapper/Yellow eye... good rods in my opinion ... hood choice.. ive replace tops and refuse to replace.. but now ive gotten a salmon trolling stick and i am happy so far!! Quality for half the price. My son uses nothing but stick from trout to steelhead ,salmon, halibut/jigging.. im about to get him a new halibut rod for his bday..that was a nice 54 cat
Great video! Congratulations. I have seen other videos of guys catching smaller catfish but with the Ugly Stik Striper rods. That Tiger rod you have sure seems to handle them way better. Do you have a video or know of any comparing the Ugly Stik Bigwater Rod vs Tiger Rod vs Striper Rod? It would be nice to see how far up the reel sits, the 'bend' of the rod with the same amount of weight, and maybe cast-ability if possible. Sooo many videos of Ugly Stik rods but nobody compares them side by side.
@@rivercatblues if you could that would be great. I saw a video one time where the rods were all in rod holders with equal weight attached to them, increasing the weight.

Dont forget to reel down on them before you take the rod out of the holder. Your hooking ratio will improve.
That was one helluva catch!!!
That was a nice video and that was really good for the ugly stick tiger rod some people think they can't handle a big catfish 🤟🤟
Great video! Congratulations.

I have never did a vid comparing ugly stiks. Maybe 🤔 soon though

Is this a heavy action ?? Or power or whatever it is lol
The Ugly Stik is a medium action. Medium heavy would be a better choice for bigger catfish
I’m a new subscriber, love your videos! What state are you from? I’m from Louisiana.
@@rivercatblues can you cast it?
Congratulations on your PB blue cat 54 lb I would love to catch one that big 🤟🤟
What lake is that?
