The Balance series of Ugly Stik combos has had a serious make over. Not only has the Balance rod had a cosmetic make over with the inclusion of a classic Ugly Stik butt wrap, the Balance spin reel has been upgraded to a sleek new 5 bearing reel with instant anti reverse bearing featuring a machined screw in handle for cranking power and reliability, double anodised spool for strength and corrosion resistant graphite body and rotor.
