Its skinny and 12 feet long...

it was on sail from $60 at decatholon

i am 11 and i am 5-5

I used it 2 twice and i can probly cast about over 60 yard before with my other rod it was 20...

Im 6'5" and my 2 10' rods are all I need for the canal.

I dunno.. thats a lot of rod waving over your head.

You must weigh about 120 pounds? If you are only casting 20 yards with your other rod I doubt you are casting 60 with the big stick! I am 6' 5" tall and 300 pounds SB and don't feel comfortable with anything over 10 feet....its just too darn much! I got a nice 1205 Arra that already wears me out when I cast it....my 9 foot 108-1 I can cast all day and night, get good distance and it handles fish nice.....I need more back bone for bigger fish, I got a 108-3 that can land large anywhere I want to fish. Get a niner boy......you get your uncle to bring you to MSBA Plug Night next week and we can talk.

Decathalon might sell ugly sticks!

[BigFish]

Nope! See there you go! You need to gather more knowledge SB before you make these decisions. We are just trying to help......the rod must be comfortable for your size.....and a 9 is what you need. Ugly Stick is made by Shakespeare.....check them out in a nine footer, something with a light action if you are plugging.

[Saltheart]

I would recommend an 8 footer for you based on age and size. Something that will handle about 3/4 to 3 OZ. Its all about timing , not length and strength. until you can get the timing and good rythm down with a shorter rod , you are wasting your efforts on a big rod.

A good caster will outcast you every time with the 8 footer compared to you with the 12 footer if you can't handle it.

[BigFish]

Take it back and get a refund SB. It will wear you out inside of a dozen casts and because you don't have the size to get a great cast from it.....you will be casting a lot less than you will from a 9 footer. Just because the rod is huge does not mean you will get a great, long cast! I can cast just as far with my 9 footers as I can with my 10 footers. Any rod over 10 feet is a waste unless one is going against an angry ocean with high rollers! You want a great rod for the money? Go to Wal-mart and pick yourself up a 9 foot ugly stick! Nice rod, durable, casts well and you will get more bang for the buck from tha rod!

I dont think i can but ill try to rerturn it tonight and if i do what should i get
