Product Description

Ugly Stik GX2 is the next generation of Ugly Stik that combines the heritage and tradition of the original while maintaining the strength and durability Ugly Stiks are known for. Ugly Stik GX2 rods offer better balance for lighter feel, improved components and eye-catching cosmetics for a more modern look versus the prior generation. Fishing has gotten too pretty. Unscratched sparkle barges with nuclear-powered engines. Rods that act like skittish thoroughbreds instead of unshod workhorses. Fish pictures taken for ‘likes' instead of refrigerator doors. It's time to fish the way it's meant to be done, with tough, durable tackle built to provide ten whopper fish pics for every one of some dandy holding a fancy rod and a fingerling. It's time to fish ugly.

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the fishing rod. Some mention it's very strong, extremely difficult to break, and will last a lifetime. However, others say that the seat holders are thin and break easily, the tip of the 3rd section splintered apart, and the top part keeps coming off. They say that quality control must be lacking at the factory, as the rod had blemishes on it and the tip flew off into the water.

Ain't my first, ain't my last. I've been using ugly stiks since I started fishing I have a 6' medium for bass small catfish ECT, just got my 6' light pole along with a ugly tuff reel and man I can tell you this is going to be my favorite set up. I have a okuma 5' ultralight with a okuma ceymar c-10 and i would say this 6' light ugly stik is the best of both worlds, has back bone and sensitivity ! I know this setup is going to last, I'll be slaying some trout in a few days to stock up my freezer and to have some fresh fish. Btw I love ugly sticks moto on filling freezers instead of Instagram pictures.
