After 2 years!
I have been steady using this rod for 2 years now, all I can say is itâs the best all around rod. Iâve caught perch, catfish,even turtles (unintentionally) (personal fav) bass all kinds. I matched it with the braided line 30lb 150yards, works a charm. Never have any back lash. Anything that gets tangled is easily undone, Iâve used this in ponds, in lakes. You name it Iâve used it. Iâve bought other rods as (play) rods if you will and I always find myself going right back to my gx2 the cast is without a doubt the best in the market. The rod splits into two if I need to take it somewhere. Itâs light weight but not the durability this thing can pull some monsters. Biggest I pulled in was an 8lb didnât need a net anything after youâll need a net. The rod is all around one of the best things I am literally buying another as we speak hence why I came back to write a review. Beyond amazing between the cast I get about 50 yards (pushing it with a weighted hook and thatâs it) so the cast is smooth nice and goes, the flexibility as you get bit, I mean you can feel every chop. And yes you can pull up the cats, picture above is some of many catches with this rod! Save yourself the time and money and buy this rod youâll thank me later!!

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!!!

Nice Little Rod
I hold Ugly Stik in pretty high regard as some of my biggest fish Iâve ever caught were pulled in using them, such as my biggest Lake Sturgeon for example. I wanted to get something a bit on the lighter side for some of the smaller bodies of water near me and thought this combo would work pretty well. It had pretty good reviews online so I ordered it.This lightweight combo does well for the value, though I regret getting the 2pc as Iâve noticed it has a tendency to come loose after a few casts and the eyes get misaligned. I donât want to say itâs tacky, but maybe it is just a bit? None of my other 2pc Ugly Stiks have this issue. Beyond that, itâs caught me fish and does what I expected it to do. I personally would get the 1pc next time.

Cheap junky feel, waste of money
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.

Not tried yet but looking forward to. This was late arriving due to an issue with the original courier, however the seller was quick to repond when contacted and sorted it all out from their end. Took just over 2 1/2 weeks to arrive. I would buy from them again though. Checked it all over and no issues. UglyStiks are built to last though.
