Ugly StikGX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo

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

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.

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.

Hello there !Well I have bought (Ugly Stick GX2 Combo) from your store in amazon at 28/june, according to the written description which’s say’s (2 peace Rod) then I received 1 peace Rod with Broken Reel, I bought the Combo 54$ and paid 150$ shipping to Aqaba,Jordan by (Myus) and also 100$ customs fees in Jordan, so I spend already a lot of money, and I didn’t got what I except by (product Written description) and now I could pay Extra money To return the Item, so what I suppose to do now ??I Had really Bad Experience with amazon Prime products I bought 5 Items those last few days none of the has the write weight on it they send it the myus address with wrong weight label on the package they write on this products the weight is 5.0 lbs and the right weight is 1.6 lbs which's cost my a lot of money to ship them to my onw country I tried to contact amazon team and I spend 2.5 chat with them for nothing they promise me to call me and solve this issue and they didn't was really bad experience ever, The rod does provide pretty good sensitivity, Worked great. Very smooth casts, and nice reeling, Felt like a one-piece, no problems at all. The handle is comfortable, and the whole thing is very nice, The rod comes with a 7 year warranty, I stronger recommend getting this setup as an entry level do-it-all.

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

Always like the ugly stick rod and reel combos

I ordered the gx2 7' spinning combo when it arrived it was broken but instead of returning it to amazon I took it in to the local academy and received a credit for the amount instead of an exchange only because they were sold out. I went back and bought 2 later when they restocked. I replaced the reel it comes with I use a penn fierce 6000 spooled with fins windtamer 100 lb braid. This combination works extremely well for me in saltwater and the rod sensitivity is great I feel every nibble even in windy conditions. The reel that it comes with is good but I like the all metal body of the penn. I have found that I always go for my gx2 in any fishing condition it's a great rod that can handle what I've put it through. So far so good.

This review is for the medium-heavy 7’ pole. The pole seems very sturdy. The eyelets are also very sturdy. Very easy to set up, and reel is sturdy and smooth.
