To celebrate its 50^th anniversary, the Ugly Stik brand is introducing a limited-edition combo series, built to honour its reputation for strength and durability.

These spinning combos feature Ugly Tech construction, Ugly Tuff guides and the iconic Ugly Stik Clear Tip design anglers have relied on for generations.

Designed to deliver the same toughness and performance that define the brand, this special release serves as a tribute to 50 years on the water. Available for a limited time in 2026 while supplies last, the 50th Anniversary series offers anglers a chance to own a piece of Ugly Stik history.

Ugly Tech construction uses a combination of graphite and fiberglass to create a strong, yet sensitive rod while the PVD-coated Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless-steel guides with smooth hard coating are designed to reduce line fray.

A shrink tube handle delivers added durability and grip and an ergonomic reel seat with exposed blank allows for better hand feel and increased sensitivity, all backed by a 10-year warranty.

The reels boast three ball bearings plus a one-way clutch instant anti-reverse bearing, a machined aluminium spool and a larger handle knob for better grip.

An Ugly Stick spokesman said: “Available as a limited, one-time release, this combo is a true tribute to 50 years of toughness, trust and time on the water, giving anglers a chance to own a piece of Ugly Stik history they can pass down to generations to come while enjoying proven performance, backed by industry-leading warranties, all at an unbeatable value.”
