Tiger Spinning Rod

The Tiger is Ugly Stik's heavy-duty spinning platform, built for large and hard-fighting species in both fresh and saltwater: catfish, carp, striped bass, and nearshore saltwater species such as redfish, snook, and inshore sharks. The design prioritizes durability and lifting power over sensitivity or casting finesse, it is a work rod that takes abuse. It has been used routinely for sturgeon, halibut, and pier fishing. Blank construction is the traditional Ugly Stik hybrid: graphite-fiberglass composite, which produces a heavier, more resilient rod than pure graphite at the cost of sensitivity.

The Clear Tip design, a solid fiberglass tip section, is a signature feature for visible bite indication and tip-flex strength. Guides are Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless, which eliminate insert loss under heavy strain. Handle is EVA foam with a rubber gimbal for rod-holder use. The reel seat is graphite with cushioned stainless hoods. Both models come with a 7-year warranty. Two spinning models in this specific SKU set: TIGRSP702M at 7'0" medium power (8–15 lb) and TIGRSP902MH at 9'0" medium-heavy power (10–20 lb).

The 7 ft is a general-purpose freshwater/light inshore rod; the 9 ft is configured for longer casts from shore, pier, or jetty and handles heavier fish. Both are two-piece.
