The Shakespeare Ugly Stik Carbon Ice Combo gives anglers a lightweight, sensitive setup that excels when targeting panfish like crappie, perch, or bluegill. The rod features a 100% 24-ton graphite blank that provides crisp sensitivity to detect light bites and a well-balanced feel for long days on the ice. Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless-steel guides remove the risk of insert pop-outs and stand strong against braided or fluorocarbon line, while the EVA and golf-style split grip delivers comfort and control in cold conditions.
Paired with the rod is a smooth-operating reel equipped with three ball bearings and a roller bearing, ensuring steady performance when jigging or fighting fish. The lightweight graphite body and rotor reduce fatigue, and the machined aluminum spool provides the necessary strength to handle pressure without adding extra weight. Together, this combo delivers the proven toughness of Ugly Stik with refined performance for serious ice anglers.
