Ugly Stick Tiger Rod BWD 2200 8'0" ML 12-30 lb test. EVA foam handles that hold up well, unlike cork, from being jerked back and forth outta the rod holders. They're only about $60.00 bucks, 5 yr warranty, and will slay up to 41lb URB's like the one I got last Monday. I ordered two more of these this morning before work, cuz I snapped two Lamiglas rods the same day with one of my boy's. One just exploded on the take down, the other I was pulling a 34lb URB away from a Sea Lion. Got the fish, but snapped my rod in half at the net. So I eat $160.00 bucks worth of Lamiglas rods cuz they won't do anything for me due to the rods only having a one year warranty and they're discontinued models. What a bunch of $#!+. Even offered to throw in money to make it right, nope, nothing doing. I'll "Never" own another Lamiglas. Try that Tiger Rod, it's especially made for downrigg'n.
