  Not as good as older ugly stiks

  The stainless steel guides are not as good as ceramic on the old guides. Compared to old model worm rods seems flimsy and doubt it has the strength. Time will tell but this is my first impression.

  I have been buying ugly stick products for close to 20 years now my go to rod this gx2 heavy action 6'6 is a solid piece I wish more stores stocked those rods I'll just have to order more through online. I had one wasteful complaint I ordered a rod and got a free spoon lure the warehouse packed a lure smaller than my hand in a medium size box when could have just placed in huge box rod came in no since in wasting boxes

  I've used open face reels for the longest but wanted a good spincast like dad and I used back in the day. I paired this with the Pflueger Trion 10SCB, which is a $70 combo and well worth it. I miss these spin cast reels and use it quite often now. Ugly Stick is known to be strong and dependable, great rods and no since to spend a crazy amount of money when you can get these at such a good price.

  I always have liked Ugly stik, and the GX2 no exception. Gave the 7' and the 6' a little overhand swing in the aisle, and the 6' is more easy to control with one hand, but I could definitely tell there was more power in the 7' with two hands. Went with the 6' because it felt better balanced, and love it. I'm going to end up getting a 7' too. I was especially happy with the guides; safe for braid, and don't corrode in salty water!

  Problem with ugly stick

  First off, great rod, great price. Now the other side. In the picture of the rod on the site, it shows and extended butt end. but when you get it, its only about a foot long from the reel seat. Not what was advertised. Remedy, ream out an 18in. piece of 1in. PVS pipe until it just fits tight on the current butt end. Force it up to the reel seat, Get a tennis racket handle wrap and put I over the PVC Works great and fits in the rod holder.

  On MODEL # USSP602M where the reel base if on the rod it is a very thin plastic piece where it screws down to hold the reel. while reeling in a bass I heard a crack didnt think much of it because everything seemed fine. a few days later at home I was change out the reel and the whole threaded section broke off. it is very thin plastic. Every other aspect of the rod is great and I will purchase another uglystik in the future. just will keep a look out for this.

  I am NOT a professional fisherman of any kind. Not a guide or a tournament pro. I do fish a lot of bass tournaments and I generally fish 5-10+ days per month. So my equipment is well tested. As for rods and reels, I have tried them all, in all price ranges, and not a single one is better for 1. Durability. 2. Feel/sensitivity. 3. Weight/balance. I LOVE this rod and the price is unbelievable considering how awesome this product has been for me over the past 7-10 years.

  Hello, just wanted to thank you for providing a quality product at an affordable price. I recently purchased 4 , one piece , 7 foot lightning rods for steelhead and smallmouth bass fishing. We recently took a trip to the Florida keys and decided to take our new rods with us. Not only did they catch many nice snook and trout, but I also landed a 44 inch , 40lb cobia on one and it performed flawlessly. We will continue to purchase the original , cork handled lightning rods as long as they are ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "excellent sensitivity and durability". available ( not a huge fan of the lightning rod shock handles).Here are a few photos of catches with your product.

  I bought two of these rods to replace my old worms rods that finally snapped on me. I wasn’t sure of the micro guides, but they’re not as micro as I thought. I’m not sure I really believe the mirco-hype. The rods seem very durable and responsive more so than my Vendettas that I use. The reel seats very nicely. I think they’ll last awhile. I also like the finish and design.

  I'm an avid wade fisherman on the Gulf Coast. I have this paired with a Shimano Citica and the rod has performed great. I got the 7' medium fast which is a great option for inshore. I've caught well over a hundred trout on this rod and some redfish as well. The rod is very light and has good sensitivity. For the price of the rod and the performance, I have to give it 5 stars.

  I started building bass rods to learn what makes a good rod. I needed another 7' my as I am a guide. I looked at all of them at Academy and chose the Ethos Inshore due to the IM 8 blank, lightness, tip action, tuck alconite guides, straightness of blank, alignment of guides, Fuji reel seat and full cork handle which serves to balance this rod very well! So now I have put it to the test and I love it! Very sensitive with great tip. My customers like it's well!!

  This rod is by far the best I've owned. I was sceptic of the micro-guides before purchasing but I can honestly say I believe the micro-guides can be accredited with increasing cast distance and accuracy. You can feel everything through this rod. I definitely will be purchasing more of these in the near future.

  Already owning one of these in the 7'3" Heavy version I had to pick up another. These rods are very nice for the price range they are in. The guides were all very strait and the details like excess glue showing etc was non existent on my rod. The color was appealing and easy to spot if you bank fish and lay it down to fish another rod. The rod seems to be quite sensitive, pretty comparable to some of my other rods that are priced nearly double this. And for those of us who like our cork grip ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Very nice for the $". this was very appealing to me. Seems EVA grips are becoming common and being old school I really like the cork handle. No it's not the most expensive cork on the market but my rod in particular appears to be of better than average quality.
