Quick take
A 7-foot medium-heavy spinning combo built for bass and general freshwater fishing, one-piece construction.
This Ugly Stik GX2 pairs a 7-foot, one-piece medium-heavy spinning rod with a size 50 reel, ready to fish out of the box. The rod blends graphite and fiberglass, and the reel runs a 5.1:1 gear ratio with an instant anti-reverse clutch. It suits anglers who want a simple, matched spinning setup for bass and general freshwater fishing on 8 to 20 pound line.
Best for

Strengths

- Includes 7-year warranty on the rod; proven durability
Trade-offs
