## Description

America’s favorite rod just got better! Ugly Stik GX2 pack spinning combos provide the ultimate combination of durability and convenience. Enjoy fishing anywhere you go with this portable combo. Comes with a cloth rod-and-reel travel bag with adjustable straps. These combos feature Ugly Tech construction, Ugly Tuff PVD coated guides, and the Ugly Stik Clear Tip design. 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.

Review: Great Value for Entry Level - Got this combo for a family vacation to the lake - my kids wanted to learn how to fish and I hadn't picked up a rod in 25 years since I was a kid myself. Ugly Stik was a name I remembered from my childhood, and, while I know they aren't a super premium brand, I trusted them more than the other generic stuff I found online for under $50 so I took a chance and bought it. No regrets. It is exactly what I expected - a very functional, serviceable combo at a budget price. I've had it almost 2 seasons now and have landed dozens and dozens of largemouth on it. As I got back into fishing, I have slowly been upgrading my gear, and I definitely appreciate many of the features that more expensive rods and reels offer. With that said, I don't think you can really spend a better $50 to get started with a combo. This combo had no problem landing me many 1-3 pound fish, and it even landed my new PB bass - a massive 6 and a half pounder!!! For that alone, this combo will always be special to me and I feel satisfied I have already gotten great value from my purchase. Happy with the durability so far, but this isn't a piece I expect to hand down to my children. If it were to break tomorrow, I'm happy with it, anything more is icing on the cake. The real isn't bad in terms of drag, smoothness, casting, etc. The weight of this combo is great and I like the balance. I'm a bank fisherman and need 2-piece rods. This one is as solid as any others I have and the real is better than some generics I have felt on similar combos. I've used lines ranging from 6lb-10lb, mono and braid, and lures tilted to the light side, 1/16-1/2. Not the combo I'd want for throwing half-ounce crankbaits all day, but if you're using lighter lures and you're on a tight budget, idk how you can do much better. Good Luck & Happy Fishing!!!
Review: Good enough as my first rod - I heard it's a great beginner rod. And it really is, light enough and easy to use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: For some reason this reel will only cast around 20 feet max and I have 30 lb line on it am I doing something wrong?**
A: 30 lb. line is WAY too heavy for a light action rod.  I would put no more than 8 lb. line on it.  Get some 6 lb. braided line and it will cast 100'.  Use it to fish for panfish or trout.  Get a heavier rod for fish  bigger than that.

**Q: Is this a 2 piece rod or 1 piece?  Thank you.**
A: It depends on which combo you order.  The 4’8” ultralight, 6’ 6” medium heavy, and 7’ medium heavy are all 1 piece. The others are 2 pieces.

**Q: does the rod come with line, and what #weight**
A: No, but the reel lists what weights and how much it will hold of each.
4/lb 190 yds, 6/lb 140 yds, 8/lb 110 yds

**Q: What's the #test on this rod?**
A: For a light rod the line is 2-6 pound test.  For the medium rod it is 8-20 pound test line.
