I second the Ugly Stick. I liked the old models, and the new generation seem more sensitive to me, but just as strong.
Good luck - stay safe.

I like the Ugly Stik striper rod. 7ft med hvy. Works great with an Abu reel. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/08/full-36211-63637-ugly_stik.jpg)

All depends on what you are targeting. If you are targeting larger blues, get one of those white medium heavy ugly sticks. If you are targeting eater size fish , get a medium or medium light action rod. The rods my clients use are the Berkeley CherrywoodHD medium action rods. 22 dollars at Walmart. I use a medium and medium light rod myself that are custom rods built by Stubby.
