BredMan Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Funny thing about the Ugly Stick. My old neighbor was an early developer of fishing rod mandrels. He later provided mandrels to rod companies such as Loomis. He once told me that the Ugly Stick was actually a mistake. It needed one additional wrap for a smooth finish out to the tip but it wasn't done for cost reasons. Being fiberglass it was virtually indestructible anyway so it was left as is and the rest is history. Of course it wouldn't have been so popular without the promotional endorsement of the 'Hulkster' himself, (Hulk Hogan)!
