It is the color of this fishing rod that gave it its unusual name; clear along the tip end, and a gray color on the rest of the rod. Most people think that the Ugly Stick fishing rod looks just fine, however - even attractive - but nevertheless the name has remained the same for many years.

Shakespeare makes several different types of Ugly Stick fishing rods, for different types of fishing. There are Ugly Stick catfish rods, Ugly Stick crappie rods and poles, and Ugly Stick striper rods, to name a few. Some people may think that it doesn't matter what type of fishing pole you use when you are freshwater fishing, as long as it is light enough to be comfortable, but experienced fishermen know that this is not true. Ugly Stick enthusiasts very rarely have one type of Ugly Stick fishing rod - most have several. Even those rods that are for a specific kind of fishing come in different styles, to make sure that fishermen have the right rod for what type of water they are fishing in and what type of fishing they are doing.
For big water and deep water fishing, Shakespeare makes a version of the Ugly Stick called the "Wicked Stick", a longer and wider pole built for being able to tackle big ocean fish such as tuna and shark. Wicked Sticks actually come in different colors, unlike their "Ugly Stick" counterparts.
Fishermen who are looking for a good fishing rod, no matter what type of fishing they will be doing, would do well to check out the Ugly Stick first - they may not feel the need to look any further!
