Ugly Stik GX2 is the next generation of Ugly Stik that combines the heritage and tradition of the original while maintaining the strength and durability Ugly Stiks are known for. Ugly Stik GX2 rods offer better balance for lighter feel improved components and eye-catching cosmetics for a more modern look versus the prior generation. 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.
