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.

When using it, I found that the 6.5 ft length with medium action on this rod was very close to my non-packable rod with the exception that the tip stiffness on this rod is a little more sensitive than my 2-piece rod of the same size and rating. In every respect, it fished quite well and I got the best casts I've ever experienced in my life using this in combination with my Shimano spinning reel, and brand-new Trilene "smooth casting" line in 10lb test. Unbelievable distance, even with light lures, and perfect placement of casts, as well. My buddies were in awe and they're all bigger than me!
I landed a lot of good-sized smallmouth bass, a few average Northern pike, and even one 10 pound, 32 inch Northern on this trip without even a shiver, creak, or squeak out of the rod. It felt quite capable of handling everything that came its way. I am sure I never took it anywhere near its limits of strength even though several of these fish bent it in half with the tip down into the water while they went under the canoe.
I can't say that I am an avid fisherman but I do have many years of fishing under my belt and I can attest that this rod is excellent in every respect. My packable rod was the only one in our group that didn't take up any headroom in our van on the long trip to the North woods and back. It also portaged effortlessly since it was inside of my backpack in my tent bag. All the other rods we had with us needed to be carried on portages. I only wish my buddies were as focused on the functionality of their gear as I am! Traveling would be so much easier and more comfortable for all of us. For the others who flew in, in addition to their usual luggage, they also had to contend with carrying their rods on airplanes in carrying tubes...and risk losing them. The pack rod just makes so much more sense on every count.
For all but those who may be very hard on their gear, it is my opinion (based upon this one trip) that this rod is a winner and would be handy for anyone who fishes. It goes together and comes apart easily, stores neatly and securely into its own carrying tube, and is a perfect solution for all portability needs. All this with little or no noticeable sacrifice in fishing performance (with the possible exception of very hard use and/or extremely large fish). What's not to like? I have already recommended this to several others and will continue to do so.
