Thought it was a great rod, but,September 10, 2009
By TheAdeleIVfrom Fire Island, NY
"I've been using these rods for a few years with no complaints until a recent trip when while fighting a tuna, on a new rod, the gimbal snapped on the belt. Granted, this never happened before and shakespear will most likely honor a warranty, but it drew my attention to the fact that the gimbal is made of plastic and NOT metal, like it is on the BWSU series. Why make such a great rod and then put a cheap gimbal on it?"

BWB 1130 is a Great Rod,February 13, 2007
By CaptainRoss
"Love the BWB 1130. I have them teamed up with Shimano TLD-25s, and they work great on King Mackeral and Mahi, and will bring in the Sharks, Cudas, AJs and occasional Wahoo that go along with them.
I use Ugly Sticks on all of my light and medium tackle rods, and they really hold up well and look great! I do wish their lighter casting rods had gimbal butts (for a Penn 975 size setup for example) ..."

Ugly stick and Grouper,December 31, 2006
By Moonshine1
"I caught a 21 inch RED-GROUPER on a light weight rod like for 8 to 12 pound line I use 20lb braided line. The rod was arched so hard I thought the reel was going to fall out and the rod was going to snap, These rods are tough. I am switching to all UGLY Stick rods."
