anyone own one? pics? recommendations?

 
I use an ugly stick ultralight with a shimmano solstice 1000. Great for the small stuff and flexible enough If I want to switch for bass really quick.

 
I have an ugly stik medium action that I use for everything steelhead,walleye,bass,northern pike,etc but all freshwater since thats all we have in ohio

 
the only time i go freshwater , is when i go to the fiances cousins. i usually bring my med action , but id like to have more of a fight reeling in bass. and the ultralights seem to do just that.

im really liking that penn though. i may just pick up one from ebay and grab a uglystick. probably light action though since mose ultralights have much lighter reels.

and what kinda soft plastics would i use with such a small setup? since most of the lakes around here are manmade and have such a rocky bottom , im kinda scurred to use some lures in there...

 
I never catch anything when I fish. I got a boat like this one I think, but I never go on it because it sucks wasting time not catching anything.

Pretty sure its like this, I know its a 29' Key West and its fast as hell. Total chick magnet when you take it out though. Its a pretty sweet boat, but I dont know much about them. My dad loves fishing though, but still doesnt use it too often.

Sounds like my Dad. Hes got a $70,000 fishing boat but has NO clue whatsoever about fishing. Literally doesnt know how to cast.

 
I have a uglystick lite pro 7" I use for trout and salmon its decent but its a heavy rod and ugly sticks are not very sensitive.

If you looking to get a ultralite to fish with a bobber id say fine but if your gonna jig id say go with somthing stiffer and more sensitive.
