You’re are positioning yourself to target heavier inshore species such as mangrove jack, large flathead, barra through to being suitable in its ability for certain light offshore applications like bait fishing for snapper and other reef fish. Lastly, we should also mention that model 602M is also a popular choice of rod for kayak fisherman due to its reasonably short length and versatility it provides.

Ugly stik Gold Surf and Rock Rod Options

For those after a durable rod for beach fishing it’s hard to go past model 1202GPH. At 12ft in size it’s a length that provides performance and distance you’ll need to cast that little bit further. The versatility of the 1202GPH makes it a brilliant all-round performer with an ability to target a wide range of surf gutter species from bream, sand whiting and dart through to Australian salmon, tailor, small shark and the silver ghost otherwise known as the illusive mulloway.

Model 1002GPMH at 10 feet in length makes this rod an ideal multipurpose beach and rock fishing pole. If you regularly do a bit of both styles, then this is the model we strongly recommend covering the crossover of scenarios. Target all the saltwater fish species mentioned above plus kingfish, cobia, mackerel and a whole host of other rock fishing favourites.

Model 802M is a general-purpose fishing rod. Perfect for fishing on sheltered beaches where distance isn’t too important. Model 802M is also ideal for general rock fishing, break walls and in some cases could also be considered for heavier estuary fishing styles.

Kayak Rod Options

It’s no secret Ugly Stik make quite an impressive range of rods and this even extends to a small range of kayak rods. For this purpose, we have a couple of models available for sale. Choose either 361L or 401M for inshore river and lake fishing from a kayak. Another suitable kayak fishing option available is the model 602M if you don’t mind a little extra length.

Model 361L will see you in a position to target bream, whiting, Australian bass, perch, flathead and perhaps trout. Model 401M or 602M is for heavier inshore work targeting anything ranging form barra, flathead, snapper and a broad range of other mid class fish species.

Kayak fishing is already huge and continues to be a growing market. Manufacturers are bending over backwards to create and supply both the domestic Australian and international market with all sorts of kayak equipment and the angler is not forgotten. Ugly stik is well known for high performance. They are leaders of innovation to meet the demands of ever evolving sports including kayak fishing.

Ugly Stik kayak rods are the result of creative thinking meeting a practical demand. Kayaks are confined spaces, and standard-length rods, even short ones, can be very awkward to manage. At a touch over 3 and a half foot, the 361L addresses this problem with classy simplicity or there is also the slightly longer 4ft model. Shortening the rod to this extreme doesn’t sacrifice an ounce of Ugly Stik performance, it just makes it a heck of a lot easier to fish from a kayak.

So, whether you are targeting kingfish or samson fish on metal knife jigs, trolling for smaller species of tuna or mackerel found in the countries north or bait fishing the reefs for snapper, emperor fish and other reef favourites the Jig spin models are absolute brilliant piece of kit for offshore boat fishing.

Offshore boat fisho’s take note, other boat models we sell are 702GPM or 662BWMH which suit general boat fishing or if hard and heavy your scene then model 702BWH makes an great choice, especially on northern Australian reefs such as Swains Reef. Though pay attention to the fact model 702BWH is still a bit tippy in action. So, may not be ideal for all types of fishing on Swains but being tippy makes it perfect for targeting many offshore fish species back down south too.
