where's the handle?,January 9, 2009
By bgdogmikfrom pembroke, ma
"I have a bwc1100 7 foot rod. it is made nice (though a bit heavy) it is rated for 50lb test, yet the handle is like a fresh water bass rod's. A rod in this class, 50lb, is going to have a heavy reel and needs anothe 6" of handle on the back to balance, nevermind fight a fish. Casting and action are addequate but the handle is too short and the trigger is too far forward to use with a rod clamp."

Great rod,April 23, 2008
By greyloonfrom Kingwood (Houston), Tx.
"I've 2 1120 BWC 7 foot rods, used primarily for catfishing. They'll haul just about anything out of the water. The 1120 is a match for the Tiger rod at a more reasonable price. They make short work out of a 15 lb blue cat and have enough strength to pull a 20 lb flathead out of his hole. The flexibility of the rods make them great for drift fishing for catfish.
The friend who turned me on to the rods uses his for alligator gar fishing. On a regular basis, he brings in 100+lb gar. His record to date is 180lbs
These are rods that cannot be beat for quality and price. Get one, you won't regret it."

35lb blue caught with this rod
"Over this past summer I went and caught alot of big catfish at dirrfrent pay lakes in ohio. I bought and used a 10" casting ugly stik .This is a great rod I brought in a 36lb shovel head in like nothing, but the 70lb shovel out of catfishermans paradise II put up a big fight but i still got it in. This is a great rod for the money that you pay for it."

10' Ugly Stick,July 8, 2007
By Shake N' Bakefrom NH Seacoast, all 18 Miles of it.
"I purchased this rod as a starter because I wanted to spend more $ on my reel. I am going on 2 years and have not replaced this rod yet. I have my Shimano 6500B mated to this rod and I love it. I fish at many railroad bridges and the lenght of the handle is long enough that I can plant it into the 2 railroad rails and my 6500B is off the ground. I have stated in my other reviews that you get what you pay for. This holds true in this case too, but find another rod in this class for the money that can do a better job and is balanced to your reel...Good luck. Happy Fishing."
