It’s taken 24 years but my old black ugly stick crappie poles are getting brittle. Is there a rod out that comparable to them. I’ve caught catfish near 50lb and bent them to look like a horseshoe over the years and never had one fail but I’ve broke 3 tips off the last 3 trips. They’ve been abused and left In the sun so I can’t complain I got my 10.00 each out of them lol
