Best praise vs top criticism for Ugly Stik Carbon

Best Praise
+3 pts
It all depends on what you want. I primarily use UglyStik rods because i dont have to worry about them. They spend 9 months of the year in my vehicle hanging from the inside roof. Pull them out and fish. If im in a hurry, i can toss them in without worrying about breaking the tip or bending/ breaking the eyelets. I do notice a drop in sensitivity with them but i still catch bass left and right with them. Caught everything from bluegill to 28 inch channel cats on my GX2 and Carbon Uglystik rods.
