ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
If you think of youth anglers just starting out on their course to serious angling interest, budgets often stand rather slim, but the need for dependable, durable tackle is huge. Going even younger, equipping youngsters with high-end outfits isn’t necessarily wrong, but the appreciation/application level may not yet be there. Ugly Stik seems to have hit a happy median with solid combos that will serve well the youth angler’s needs without breaking the bank.
