    GX2's are TOUGH!!!

    I exclusively use the GX2's for our summer camps. They not only perform well, but can handle the abuse that 9 - 16 year old Campers can have on them year after year.

    Ugly Stik GX2 Is A Tough, Dependable Fishing Rod

    I have always heard of Ugly Stik I just have not ever bought one because I love my Berkley Big Game Power Series rods so much. They are a valuable deal just like the Ugly Stik.

    In 2022 I purchased a few Ugly Stiks and I LOVE THEM! I Purchased the Ugly Stik GX2 7 foot Medium Heavy 1 piece rod, I purchased the Ugly Stik GX2 Custom 7 foot Medium Heavy 1 piece rod, I purchased the Ugly Stik Big Water 8 foot Medium Heavy 2 piece rod (THICK STOUT ROD), and then I purchased MY DREAM ROD! The Ugly Stik Big Water (Black, Silver, and Red ones) 12 foot Heavy rod! Man these rods are well balanced and flexible, durable, sensitive and strong and powerful! THEY CAN PULL SOME WEIGHT!

    The Ugly Stik GX2 is a great multi-species fishing rod. I was using the 7 foot Ugly Stik GX2 1 piece Medium Heavy and I caught some white bass, yellow bass, some 12 inch - 15 inch Largemouth Bass, I caught this 30 inch Northern Pike on the Ugly Stik GX2. I was using lighter line; I have 300 yards of 20lb Sufix 832 Advanced Superline (really thin and really strong multiple weaves in that braid) and I was throwing a Rapala Jointed Shad in the "JS-07" size in the UV Green color when I caught the 30 inch Northern Pike.

    When my friends and I went out fishing at a big lake we all snagged our lures on one of the boats on floaties and I was trying to pull my Whopper Plopper loose and I SWEAR MY UGLY STIK GX2 WOULD HAVE PULLED THAT WHOLE BOAT TO SHORE IF IT WAS NOT TIED UP TO THAT FLOATIE! I WAS PULLING AND…

    Love my Ugly Stick but...

    Bought the rod before the price hike. Really liked it I caught a 30 pound black drum on the beach at Ft Pickens near Pensacola.

    Have since caught several medium sized reds with it. Ok, great! Great action for 10 pound line. Then last Friday at Dauphin Island throwing a 2 oz surf weight the rod broke (snapped) above the large first guide on the forward swing of the cast. I was somewhat shocked to say the least. That's never happened with me and this brand before. Love me some Ugly Sticks!

    Anyway, I have 2 more of the same rods.

    Might consider adding a little more backbone toward the butt of the rod.

    Awesome flexibility and sensitivity

    I bought a GX2 when they first came out and I've now I have 3 in my gear. A 4' a 5'6" and a 6'6". They are a beast of a rod and I'll recommend them to everyone. My favorite rods are all "ugly"
