Casting Rods

gotta wiat til april to get on the water so I have no comment now ,BUT,i have have 10 others besides the 2 on got on your buy 2 get reel for free, which I would not have bought if I knew the free reel is no good in saltwater which is all I do

Nice reel seat. Guides look good.

Haven't had her on the water yet, but looking this rod over - it looks pretty good for the money. Guides are smooth and aligned. The reel seat is nice, and the handle has good grip.

Awesome poles .

Can't wait to use them out. I have other Ugly sticks and love the response of the rods.

Ugly stick gx2 heavy

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

Love it !

After recently snapping my fresh water rod I was looking for a sturdy replacement. I popped into Academy and i knew i wanted a ugly stik which one of my friends suggested them for their extreme durability so i found this one and luckily it was on sale for $10 off but i love this pole ! very durable and still very sensitive I may even get another one while its still on sale !

Great rod

I love my ugly stick I have 2 of them and would not have any other great price as well!!!

Nice convenient rod.

I used it for opening weekend of trout season in NJ. I mounted a 33 on it and set up a slip bobber rig using a gizmo bobber stop. Caught 4 nice rainbows. The rod handled very well and being telescopic it compacts so nicely and I can take it anywhere. So far so good.

Extremely good! I would buy this product again.

While using Z-Cast, I was surprised. That is pretty good bang for the buck. Especially It's great when I cast the lure by using single-hand under casting.

Eye inserts suck but don’t all rods

I had an insert pop out on the first trip but I’ve had this happen with other rods too. Overall I like the Rod

Yeah - I Really Like This Rod!

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.

Excellent rod with excellent warranty.

Have three of these now, and have broken one under conditions that would’ve broken most any rod in my arsenal. As inconvenient as it is I always have back ups with me have three of these now, and have broken one under conditions that would’ve broken most any rod in my arsenal. As inconvenient as it is I always have back ups with me or just sort of an occasion. Nice thing is academy is just a short drive away and are very serious about packing their products. I will continue to use though I am ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Excellent rod with excellent warranty.". no professional it is lightweight well-balanced and very sensitive when using top water or different rubs are worms. Couldn’t be happier academies customer service. That alone is worth a little inconvenience if that were the case but as it is I’ve use these rods for over a year and a half now and they are excellent.

Great "all-around" rod

I much research I bought this rod and am very glad to have it in my arsenal. I shopped at several stores a rod, and couldn't find it in the power and length I wanted, so I finally ordered on line. I received it quickly with no problems, but I have waited to review it until I have had quite a bit of time with it on the water and a fish on. The performance of the rod is excellent. It has exactly the power and tip speed, as well as, the very light weight I prefer. I only fish bass and this rod ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Great "all-around" rod". has quickly become my "go-to rod". The specs. sheet list it as a 7" MH fast tip and I think that is spot on. Many rods advertised as MH are really medium. It has a very nice finish and the line guides are advertised as Fuji Alconite, I am not that up on them, but when the rod arrived it had those "springy" recoil ones installed. I don't believe they are the Fuji Alconite. I thought the Alconite were more rigid.

Best rod for the price

For the money as long as you don't lose the rod or academy doesn't stop selling it, it should be the last rod you have to buy with their full no questions asked lifetime warranty. What makes it better is if they don't have that rod in stock they give you store credit for another one of your choice. What you have to lose.

Best bang for the buck

I actually use the rod for weightless worm fishing. The rod is great and one of my favorite rods. H20 rods are hard to beat for the price and quality received.

Great rod

I got this rod about a week ago and i love it is a nice flexible rod the eyes go straight down the spine of the rod. All i am saying is that it is a very nice rod

catch lots a fish than before

i got this for my birthday and i love it. I don't miss as many fish as before.

Great flex

I bought this Rod to pair up with a 13 Fishing 8 to 1 ratio baitcaster and it has increased my average cast by about 20 yards because of the flexibility of it

Awsome

Definatley recommend, excellent rod, sure wish it came in spinning also !!!!

Selection in store was better then online

I looked online and it only showed 1 size bait cast rod. We I arrived at the store I found 5 different sizes of the rod and was pleased to find these other styles to choose from.

Great rod for the money.

Bought the rod for light saltwater. Put a Lews on it and it performed very well. Rally nicely finished rod. Casts an 1/8 oz jig head a mile.

Awesome light weight rod

Bought this to pair w my quantum smoke ... Best desicion ever

Castaway 7'2" Heavy, strong and light

Excellent rod for frog and 1/2 oz jigs. Castaway has always made a great rod and this no exception.

Coastal 6'6"

Great wading rod for alot of reason. I use 2 reels on this rod. The Curado 50e and 200E7. This a can cast anything from 1/8-7/8oz a country mile. These rods cast great with any reel. Line runs smooth threw the guides. It works any style lure. It also has alot of back bone. Love it.

Good Rod, but not perfect

bought this rod about a month ago, and it's pretty good. Only issue is the handle/reel seat, is too close to the butt end of the rod, so it kinda shortens the rod grip. It's also a bit heavier than other rods I own. Other than that, it is firm and can handle big fish, with no problem.

Great all around rod

The medium heavy fast action is perfect for a number of baits, anything from a finesse worm to a spinner bait.

Falcon HD 7'6"

I own other falcon rods,bought this one to cast for trout & reds, works very well and seems to be very durable

Great Buy

I have had this rod for over a year now. I bought the matching reel to go with it. I will definitely be buying more Lew's products in the future.

A amazing rod

I bougot this Rod and and the matching reel it's amazing but not as a combo definitely buy and academy has one of the best price for it

Best rod for the money no doubt!!!

I bought this rod in store a couple months ago and have not picked up my Waterloo rod since! Incredible lightness and sensitivity...I have a Lews saltwater reel and can not believe how light it is. I have owned Castaway in the past but this rod is over the top. Customer for life!

Awesome Rod

After I hurt myself playing football this season in Houston, i decided to go down to Academy and get me a fishing rod. This thing is awesome. I have caught several hard heads and crokers with this baby. The slime wipes right off. I cant wait to go get me some more!

Awesome kayak rod

Good quality short casting rods are hard to find they are going to longer rods, this is the perfect size when i kayak fish makes it easy to land fish and retie lures when sitting also works great for bankfishing tight spots. Feels more like a medium held up fine on a 4lb bass just dont expect to water ski them in
