I'm looking at an ugly stik elite ultra lite for casting jigs in the spring time. I love the durability of the the ugly sticks (I'm hard on my gear) but always found the rods to be too flimsy for my liking. The elite modal is suppose to have more graphite in it to make it a little more sensitive, anyone have any insight in to this rod, is it still flimsy or more stiff with added graphite? I'm pairing it with a pfluger president reel! Hoping for a good combo to catch some spring time slabs on the bank.
