Legendary toughness meets modern design across versatile inshore applications.
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Ugly Stik, a brand trusted by generations of anglers, proudly expands the Carbon Inshore Series—a trio of new technique-specific rods and combos designed to tackle the toughest inshore and surf fishing challenges. The lineup includes the Carbon Inshore Pursuit Combo, Carbon Inshore Jig Rods, and Carbon Inshore Surf Rods, each built with Ugly Tech construction featuring 100% 24-ton graphite for the perfect balance of strength, sensitivity, and lightweight performance. Whether casting from the beach, boat, or backwater flats, these new products deliver unmatched durability and responsiveness.
At the heart of each model is Ugly Stik’s signature solid graphite tip, providing finesse and sensitivity without compromising the brand’s legendary toughness. Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless-steel guides with anti-corrosion coating ensure long-lasting performance in harsh saltwater conditions, eliminating insert pop-outs and maximizing reliability. The Carbon Inshore Jig Rods are optimized for jigging but versatile enough for various techniques, while the Carbon Inshore Surf Rods offer the length and backbone needed to conquer challenging surf conditions.
The Carbon Inshore Pursuit Combo pairs the high-performance Carbon Inshore rod with the PENN Pursuit IV spinning reel, featuring HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers and four sealed stainless steel ball bearings for smooth, consistent drag. Designed for inshore anglers targeting redfish, speckled trout, and snook, this combo delivers ready-to-fish performance in one versatile package.
From the surf to the shallows, every rod in the Carbon Inshore Series is built for comfort and control with rubberized X-pattern EVA handles that provide a solid grip in wet, sandy, or humid conditions. Backed by Ugly Stik’s 10-year rod warranty, these rods and combos carry forward the brand’s commitment to dependable, hard-fishing gear that stands up to the elements—trip after trip, season after season.
