Medium heavy ugly stick from academy. Good and cheap. $30 I believe.

I have some white MH Ugly sticks made for bait fishing. Prefer using them for shad because they have a softer tip, and have more give when the fish is taking the bait.
Will post the model number later today.

Medium heavy ugly stick from academy. Good and cheap. $30 I believe. Med. Action - 7'6" I also like the ugly sticks. But I like a little lighter action. Sometimes / some seasons, I feel that the fish are a little pickier. A rod that allows the fish to take the bait a little further before resistance is applied, I feel can help with hook-ups. A more flexible rod can help when using circle hooks, at times - in my opinion. My #2 choice (that I can't find down here) is the 7'6" Academy - Tournament Choice rod. About $10. All one piece rod. I've caught many fish using those rods and never had a problem with them. Until I hooked into a tree or stump.

Pole or rod? Help settle a debate I had not long ago. Strictly speaking, a fishing 'pole' is like a cane pole, where you just tie the line to the end of it. A fishing 'rod' is designed to mount a reel or similar device to hold line. But lots of folks use the terms interchangeably.
