Shakespeare – USCA601M Ugly Stik GX2 Casting Rod

The renowned Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 Casting rod represents an evolutionary step from the iconic Ugly Stik, which made its debut in 1976. This contemporary rendition preserves the legendary toughness and dependability that the Ugly Stik brand is known for. However, it reaches new heights in terms of design, featuring a sleeker profile that enhances balance and reduces weight, culminating in an elevated fishing experience for enthusiasts and professional anglers alike.

What sets the Ugly Stik GX2 Rod apart is its innovative Ugly Tech Construction. A fusion of advanced graphite and resilient fiberglass creates a rod that boasts a rare blend of durability and sensitivity. This ingenious combination not only ensures the rod can withstand the most challenging conditions but also fine-tunes its balance, thus making it more manageable and responsive in the hands of an angler.

Another feature that underscores the robust nature of the GX2 is the Ugly Tuff Guides. These guides have been reengineered for superior toughness, capable of enduring the rigors of frequent fishing, which guarantees longevity and a worthwhile investment in your fishing gear arsenal.

The acclaimed Ugly Stik Clear Tip design remains a distinctive feature, providing additional reinforcement precisely where needed without sacrificing the finesse required to detect subtle nibbles and strikes from various species of fish.

When investing in a GX2, you also receive the assurance of a 7-year warranty, showcasing Shakespeare's confidence in this product and it's commitment to customer satisfaction.

For those purchasing this exceptional rod, be aware of the additional $8.00 oversize packaging charge. The rod comes in a specially designed, long, heavy-duty tube to protect it during shipping. This charge remains, even with the application of discount shipping coupons, due to the special handling requirements to secure your rod.
