Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo

This was a Christmas gift for my aunt and she was so happy, she cried! Sturdy and mostly simple to put together.

AAA

The reel is smooth and the rod handles well except, it doesn't fit snugly together like it should but i can deal with that

I use GX2 rods for ultralight trout fishing and medium bass fishing on a weekly basis. I've yet to have one break and am impressed with the quality overall for the price. I have four of these rods, and I did unfortunately lose the top half of one of them due to casting a bit too hard. Make sure to give a little force when securing the pieces together and remind yourself that casting is more about the motion than power.

Easy to use

As expected.

DO NOT BUY THIS CHEAP JUNK!I will start by saying, my whole life I've always used Ugly Stik rods and have faithfully stuck by them, this combo, however, is not only double the price than what I found the identical combo for elsewhere, but the reel broke before I could even cast it once, which ruined an entire day of fishing for us. I called the customer support line, was on hold nearly 30 minutes for a lady to answer with me on speaker phone, clearly she was busy doing other things and not paying attention to me or my concerns, I tell her about what happened and she acted as if she didn't listen to me and just said "I understand but what do you expect us to do about it?" WOW! In all of my life I've never treated somebody that way when they had an issue.Save your money, buy something that won't break on you so easily. Buy from a company who cares about ensuring their customers are satisfied. The eyelet came in bent up and out if fear if snapping it I didn't even try to adjust it, the reel came apart while I was rigging the lure on, I finishing tying the lure on, pick the reel up, go to cast when I notice the line guide is gone and the top Bell is separated! The screw fell out! Plus, look at how the reel sits on the rod with gaps, it looks like it wasn't even made to pair with this rod. How did that get approved when they made this combo? Unbelievable. Now I'm expected to go find a box big enough to stick this junk back in, drive to the UPS store and drop it off to get my refund in 2 weeks. What about my $20 worth of fishing line? I guess it's a lesson learned not to buy cheap when it comes to fishing gear. I'll be going with a Penn reel next.

Nice rod and real use all the time

The 4 piece rod is nice, and seems sturdy, the fact that it goes to 4 pieces makes it easy to transport and pack away. The included carrying case is alright, but not super strong and doesn’t quite fit the reel, but overall the rod is a good 4 piece ugly stick.

lo que me gustó es que llegó rápido. Es una buena marca. Se puede usar para pesca en agua dulce y en mar, soporta peces de unos 5 a 6 kg

Wanted a rod that could throw some light, as well as some medium lures, and have enough 'backbone'.This rod fits the bill perfectly.

Bought for step son this Christmas 🎄 ugly sticks are a great product 💕

Havent had a chance to use them yet. But they appear to be the same quality as the other Ugly Stiks I use.
