TICAUKGA Surf Spinning Fishing Rod Series

The rod is great, has nice back bone . I don't know about all the other tica models but the tica surge is strong ,durable and feels pretty lite for a 11 foot surf pole It cast 5 and 6 oz and bait and it handled that with ease so I was happy to know It could have casted more if need be. Most rods are way over rated this is not one of them.

These tica rods are awesome !!! My casting distance improved on the first pitch ! Looks great ! Feels great in your hands ! And strong but can feel lil white perch biting ! All i used in 2017 was tica rods ! I own 5 now and my wife owns 3 and she loves them !

This is a nice rod. Lightweight, utilitarian and bare bones, easy to work a 2 oz popper or impart action to a lure. I had the 8-footer in this series but I needed more range without more weight. Fishermen who like their VanStaal's and their trophy rods should skip this...this is not fancy and many don't care for the rubber wrapped handle. By the way, I didn't manage to put a fish on this yet (I bought it very late in the season) or I might have given it five stars. It was shipped quickly and arrived undamaged.

Poor quality, You can never imagine this could happen. It has one year manufacture warrantee. However, if you want to return to the manufacturer, you need to pay for shipping both ways.

Well balanced, solid construction. This is somewhat of a "no frills" option, but the blank has great backbone, and the MH action casts further than I expected for an 8ft rod with 1-2oz rigs. The guides are holding up well to braided line.

I expected a light weight rod for long standing river fishing and farther casts than other rods. It is light but performance wise, I did not see any difference and to exclude personal factor, I tried another brand of the same length and it made a big difference.

This is a good lightweight surf rod. It casts and handles fish well. Tica makes quality rods at good prices, but I don't think I will go with the UKGA series again as it has a few underperforming components.1. The reel seat slips frequently. It is not so loose that the reel to falls off, but enough to need to re-tighten more often than should be necessary.2. The rod twists at the ferrule when throwing baits in the upper end of the the rod's rated range, e.g. an SP Minnow. This can be corrected with some ferrule wax, but it doesn't seem to happen on my other rods.Correct those two things and this is a 5* rod for the price.

Was just an impulse buy to add to my saltwater arsenal, now it's by far my favorite rod. It's very versatile and can handle a variety of weights. Has great action with pencil poppers, jigs, and soft plastics. Also works great for everything else. 8 ft is a great size rod. All the convenience and versatility of a 7 footer without sacrificing casting distance.

Exactly what I expected . Thank you.
