You are stuck by the side of the road with a flat tire and can't loosen the lug nut. All you have is the lug wrench and a long hollow bar. Explain why you may be fortunate enough to be on your way soon?
just use your foot like i do,pinch the can on the side a little and step on it,works great.
I have an Ugly Stik, and honestly, after fishing for a season with a St. Croix, the Ugly Stik is complete garbage. Just because it's flexible, doesn't mean it's sensitive. Because the rod is so limp, it won't cast well, it won't fight well, it just plain doesn't work well. Honestly, go into a Bass Pro and check out the Tourney Special rods. Same price (right now, Bass Pro has them marked down from I think $49.99 to 29.99), but much better build. I bought one after my St. Croix, and was surprised to find it was a fair match for the more expensive rod.
