Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo

I love it. Ugly Stick is always a great value and the GX2 it nice. I get a lot of feel from the tip and a strong backbone. This rod also looks great paired with my KastKing Speed Demon Elite 3000.

The reel and rod are great! The reel was missing a pin though. I checked inside the box everywhere for the pin that held the handle to the rod though could not find it. Thank you Amazon!

No problem with this rod and reel. I use it daily and like it.

I was looking for a one piece rod with good action! The seven foot one piece did not disappoint . The reel was decent as well, I outfitted my setup with 30 lbs. braid (Spider Wire) brand. I haven't lost any fish after hooking on this pole, perhaps my confidence comes from using braided line & my ability to tie knots. The rod is medium action, perfect for strippers. it has a seven year warranty, so i'm trying my best to break it. Kidding, I do tend to be a little more aggressive with this setup mainly because of it being a one piece rod. I got the combo & i plan to swap out the reel this summer and upgrade to a smoother reel, ill check the eyes on the pole then and give an update on their condition.

I was excited about my new pole until right after taking it out the package the pin falls out the handle. After researching the pole further I read it’s a common issue with this particular brand. I still want the pole just getting a replacement and hopping I get one that doesn’t have manufacturing issues

Super good rod for price. One star off for the reel I replaced it with a Shimano sienna 4000

Pick up fishing or picked up where I left off after 30+ years :-) but fishing in lakes and the ocean with this one and perfect! Taught my 2 littles (8 & 14, I say littles because I have much older too) on this one instantly.

I've been fishing Shakespeare ugly stick my entire life. The quality and durability is simply unmatched for the price . I bought the gx2 6'6 with the size 40 reel about a year ago and have been fishing it hard ever since. I just received mine and my dad's matching 1-piece 7 ft gx2s with the size 50 reel today and absolutely cannot wait to to get 'em slimy. If you are at all considering purchasing these rod and reel combos I absolutely encourage you to pull the trigger. Tight lines and bent rods to all.

Great feeling rod but what weight range of lures am I meant to use. I feel like 1/4 oz jigs and frogs are too small to get a good long cast

real good rod and reel to ad to my collection of ugly stick fishing rods

Bought as a gift. is a very long rod but nice. little hard to travel with since it doesn't come apart.

It working . Reel Handle bending. A little sad. Packaging needs improvement.

Awesome piece of equipment, very well built and a fantastic warranty, thumbs up
