    How The Shakespeare Ugly Stik Got Its Name During the 1940s, fishing rods were made of either hollow or solid fiberglass. Hollow fiberglass fishing rods were lighter and more affordable than solid versions, but they were more brittle and subject to breakage, particularly the tip. The solid rods were stronger, but they were also heavier and more expensive than the hollow ones.

With developments in graphite in the mid 1970s, Shakespeare added the graphite core for the base of the particular rod, making this even stronger. The tip remained solid fiberglass, which is both strong as well as flexible.…

My pet rig is a six-and-a-half-foot spinning rod, medium action, fitted with an ultra light Mitchell 308 reel filled with 6lb. test monofilament. A spincast outfit is plenty good; even fly tackle in some specialized situations, a…

    Most people have heard the saying “It is better to have too much than not enough.” This saying is true for anglers as much as anyone. They sometimes take hours to scout out and determine what gear to bring with them depending on the fishing conditions and how much stress they are planning to put on their fishing tackle. Too little tackle and the fisherman might miss out on a crucial opportunity to catch that trophy fish, too much tackle and it can cause one to be clumsy or indecisive. One…

While I don't remember the first time I went fishing, I've seen pictures of my dad and me dangling a line of the pier, standing in mountain streams and side by side in the surf. Nevertheless, I cannot actually remember fishing. However, I do remember many years ago when I was invited to go with a friend and his dad on their…

Another reason fishing should not be a sport is because catching and releasing a fish impairs other animals. On the flip side, fishing is an exceptional way to keep people out of trouble.…
