At this point in the game your rod really does not have a whole heck of a lot to do with it. True, the better your rod, the more bites you'll feel. And to be completely honest, an uglystik is not the most sensitive rod out there. If you want to catch bass, the best thing you can do to began with is learn to fish plastics. Stick with lighter lines and finesse presentation like dropshot or shaky heads and you will get bit.
