The Most Versatile Fishing Rod and Reel Setup
Versatile Fishing Rod
Searching for a versatile fishing rod and reel set up can get overwhelming when you have so many options to choose from. But, because the average angler does not need ten different setups and we believe that shopping for your fishing equipment should be just as fun and exciting as the fishing trip, itself, we are here to help you with the search process!
Versatile Fishing Rod and Reel Combo
For the casual angler, we recommend the Shakespeare Medium Action Ugly Stik Tiger Spinning Rod paired with the Penn Fierce II Spinning Reel. This combination makes the best all-around and most versatile fishing rod (without breaking the bank) to handle fish of most sizes ranging from trout and small freshwater bass to small tuna. It is the perfect outfit for a novice to learn with, yet offers dependable performance for the seasoned veteran.
A setup like this will take you from local ponds and streams to the beach and on a boat. Plus, it is built to last for years to come.
Shakespeare Medium Action Ugly Stik Tiger Spinning Rod
Ugly Stik Tiger rods are one of the most versatile fishing rods that can be used across many species from coast to coast. The graphite Fuji reel seats with cushioned stainless steel hoods make it a perfect rod for catching tuna in the Pacific as well as landing monster catfish down south. The famous Ugly Stik construction gives these rods an advantage for fighting trophy- sized fish including catfish, stripers and bigwater game fish.
Penn Fierce II Spinning Reel
For less than $75, you get a durable reel with build quality that is comparable to models that cost $150 or more. The PENN Fierce II offers anglers the dependability and unparalleled power no matter which species are targeted. The field-proven oiled-felt drag system is extremely reliable and has the muscle to tame the strongest fish in the roughest of conditions. It features a full metal body and sideplates, stainless steel main shaft, thick aluminum bail wire, and braid ready spool with line capacity rings.
