The Ugly US50THSP662M/35CBO is a 6.5-foot, medium-power bass spinning combo priced at exactly $50, matching the Okuma VS-605-20's 4.3-star rating, though its 11-review sample and 200+ bought last month figure are both the smallest of any combo in this whole comparison set.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Picture an angler who trusts the Ugly Tech name from experience with the brand's other rods, looking for a lighter, medium-power option for bass rather than the heavier catfish-rated combo the brand also sells. That is the role the US50THSP662M/35CBO fills, a 6.5-foot, medium-power spinning combo built with Ugly Tech construction and rated for 10-14 lb line, priced at exactly $50.
That price sits almost exactly between the Okuma VS-605-20 at $47.70 and the Ugly 1366955 at $70.12, positioning it as a mid-tier option within its own comparison set. Its 6.5-foot length matches the Fiberglass 80-FSH3001 exactly, and its medium power and 10-14 lb line rating make it lighter-duty than the Ugly 1366955's medium-heavy, 15-30 lb catfish build, aiming instead at the bass target species it shares with the Fiberglass and PLUSINNO combos.
The review data here is thin. A 4.3-star rating matches the Okuma VS-605-20 exactly, but where the Okuma has 1,700 reviews behind that score, this combo has just 11. Bought last month sits at 200+, the lowest figure among the combos in this comparison. That pairing, a familiar rating on a much smaller sample and lighter sales volume, suggests this specific model is newer to market or lower-volume than its stablemate, even while carrying the same brand name that backs the better-reviewed 1366955.
Pros
- 4.3-star rating matches the Okuma VS-605-20's score exactly
- 6.5-foot length matches the Fiberglass 80-FSH3001, a proven length for this comparison group
- Medium power and 10-14 lb line rating are well suited to the bass target species listed
- Priced at $50, positioned between the Okuma ($47.70) and the Ugly 1366955 ($70.12)
- Carries Ugly Tech construction, the same branded build family as the higher-reviewed 1366955
Cons
- Only 11 reviews back the 4.3-star rating, the smallest sample in this comparison
- 200+ bought last month is the lowest recent demand figure among the combos compared
- Lighter 10-14 lb line rating limits it against the Ugly 1366955's 15-30 lb catfish-rated build
- Costs more than the Fiberglass 80-FSH3001 ($20.81) for a similar 6.5-foot length

Performance notes
A medium-power spinning rod rated for 10-14 lb line fits comfortably in the middle of this comparison's line weight range, heavier than the Fiberglass 80-FSH3001's 6 lb rating but well under the Ugly 1366955's 15-30 lb catfish rating. At 6.5 feet, it shares its length with the Fiberglass combo, suggesting similar handling in tight-quarters bass fishing. The Ugly Tech construction label points to the same reinforced build philosophy the brand uses on its higher-reviewed 1366955 model, just scaled down to a lighter power class and shorter reel size (35) suited to bass rather than catfish. That combination of medium power and moderate line weight makes it a general bass rod rather than one built for oversized fish or heavy cover.
What buyers say
An 11-review sample is thin enough that the 4.3-star average, while matching the well-established Okuma VS-605-20's score, should be read cautiously. The Okuma's identical rating rests on 1,700 reviews, giving it far more statistical weight. At 200+ bought last month, this is also the slowest-moving combo in the comparison by recent volume, trailing the Ugly 1366955's own 500+ figure despite sharing a brand name. None of this signals a problem with the product itself, but it does mean the track record here is still forming, and buyers relying on review depth to make a decision will find more of it on the brand's other listing.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ugly US50THSP662M/35CBO the same as the Ugly 1366955 combo?
No, they are different models from the same Ugly Tech construction line. The US50THSP662M/35CBO is a lighter, medium-power bass combo at 6.5 feet with 10-14 lb line, while the 1366955 is a medium-heavy, 7-foot catfish combo rated for 15-30 lb line.
Why does this combo have so few reviews compared to similar combos?
With only 11 reviews and 200+ bought last month, it appears to be a newer or lower-volume listing than its comparison set, which includes combos with 617 to 3,000 reviews. That does not necessarily reflect on quality, just on how long it has been on the market.
Is $50 a fair price for this combo?
It sits between the Okuma VS-605-20 at $47.70 and the Ugly 1366955 at $70.12, making it a mid-range choice in this comparison. Whether it is a fair price depends on whether the lighter 10-14 lb bass-focused build meets your needs over those alternatives.
