Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod – USSP702M

The Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 is an updated version of the original Ugly Stik rod, which was first introduced in 1976. The GX2 offers a lighter weight design while still maintaining the durability and toughness that the Ugly Stik brand is known for. The rod is constructed with a combination of graphite and fiberglass, resulting in a strong and sensitive rod with improved balance. The Ugly Tuff Guides, a newly designed feature, ensure maximum durability. The Ugly Stik Clear Tip provides extra strength exactly where it is needed, while still being sensitive enough to detect even the lightest strike. To stand behind the quality of their product, Shakespeare offers a 7-year warranty on this rod. Please note that there is an $8.00 oversize packaging charge for this item, as it is shipped in a heavy-duty tube to protect your purchase.
