Review: Tougher Than It Looks — Handles Salt, Fish & Time Like a Champ - I've been putting my Ugly Stik GX2 (Medium, 6'6", 2-piece, with the size 35 reel) through its paces for the last few months, and let me tell you — this rod punches way above its price point. Right off the bat, I’ll say this: I'm using the older version, and even though it's not marketed specifically for saltwater, this thing holds up like a beast. I've taken it out to the coast, fishing off rocks and shoreline, and it's handled salt spray, gritty sand, and long sessions without a single issue. Just rinse it down, and it's good to go. Performance-wise? Smooth and reliable. The action is responsive but forgiving — perfect for everything from small jacks to porgy and even the surprise stingray I wasn’t expecting. The reel feels solid, drag holds steady under pressure, and the two-piece design makes it super convenient for transport without compromising strength. Also — this rod is deceptively strong. It bends but doesn’t break. I’ve had it bow real low under a decent fight and it kept its composure the entire time. Ugly Stik’s signature Clear Tip adds confidence, especially when you're not sure what you're pulling up from the deep. 🔹 Pros: Rugged build — feels like it’ll last forever Great sensitivity and backbone balance Handles light saltwater duty well with care Comfortable grip for long sessions Perfect travel size for bank and pier fishers 🔸 Cons: Reel isn’t sealed (as expected) — rinse religiously if you're hitting salt Slightly heavier than graphite rods (but honestly, I like the weight — feels sturdy) This is the kind of rod that grows on you. Whether you're a casual weekend angler or someone getting serious about fishing without breaking the bank, the GX2 just makes sense. It’s a budget-friendly workhorse that earns its keep — and then some. If you’re on the fence, just get it. I’ve caught memories on this rod, not just fish. 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!!! ## Features - 3 ball bearings plus one-way clutch instant anti-reverse bearing for smooth gear feel and quick hook sets - Machined double anodized aluminum spool with oversized bail wire for durability - Ugly Tech construction with a combination of graphite and fiberglass to create a strong, yet sensitive rod - Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless steel guides provide excellent durability and eliminate insert pop-outs - Ugly Stik Clear Tip design for strength and sensitivity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FH3WNY6 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,319 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #8 in Fishing Rod & Reel Combos | | Brand Name | Ugly Stik | | Color | mixed | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (6,972) | | Fishing Line Type | Wire | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 12 Pounds | | Fishing Technique | Spinning | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00043388306197 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | 1 combo | | Item Type Name | COMBO | | Item Weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Line Capacity | 110/10 | | Line Weight | 15 pounds | | Manufacturer | Pure Fishing | | Material Type | Graphite | | Model Name | UGLY STICK | | Rod Length | 6.5 Feet | | Target Species | Bass | | UPC | 043388306197 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ugly Stik - **Color:** mixed - **Item Weight:** 0.45 Kilograms - **Material:** Graphite - **Rod Length:** 6.5 Feet ## Images ![Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XhL4gSBpL.jpg) ![Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713xrmN4bqL.jpg) ![Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mQU5+4zWL.jpg) ![Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51R-VeZFPHL.jpg) ![Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619zVXpOuwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tougher Than It Looks — Handles Salt, Fish & Time Like a Champ *by O***T on July 27, 2025* I've been putting my Ugly Stik GX2 (Medium, 6'6", 2-piece, with the size 35 reel) through its paces for the last few months, and let me tell you — this rod punches way above its price point.

The rod is strong yet lightweight, and it’s very comfortable to use—especially for someone like me who’s just getting into fishing. The build quality is excellent. It feels durable and flexible, which makes it ideal for both freshwater and light saltwater fishing. The reel operates smoothly, and the overall balance of the combo is spot on. I’ve used it from the shore and from piers, and it’s performed great every time. It also looks really sleek and feels like it’s built to last. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a reliable and affordable setup that can handle a variety of fishing situations. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10071781-ugly-stik-gx2-spinning-reel-and-fishing-rod-combo](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10071781-ugly-stik-gx2-spinning-reel-and-fishing-rod-combo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
