Shakespeare Ugly Stik Review

In this article we will review the Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 rods. It's the most recent redesign to a great line of bars eminent for their flexibility and toughness for almost four decades.


Looking at all the different angling bars that are relatively cheap, I find that most of them suck. THe lone exception is the Ugly Stiks. I have additionally possessed and utilized a few $200-in addition to bars while chipping away at contract vessels, yet none of those are still with us either.

The Ugly Stik GX2 was presented a year ago as the principal major update of the Ugly Stik arrangement . It's generally difficult to take after a work of art, yet the GX2 did only that. Contrasted and the first, it incorporates more graphite and less fiberglass, giving the pole to a greater extent a spine for working baits and taking care of heavier fish, while as yet keeping the delicate fiberglass tip that makes it sufficiently touchy for identifying more unpretentious strikes and littler gets.

On the off chance that it's anything like the first, it could in all likelihood be the last pole you'll have to purchase. In my vast experience of angling, I've utilized scores of poles and broken (or saw the breaking of) pretty much every one of them, with the exception of the Ugly Stiks. They are truly intense bars—a certainty upheld by their industry-driving seven-year guarantee (contrasted and the normal one-year scope offered on Penn, Shimano, and even Shakespeare's own, non-Ugly Stik poles). I haven't found another cheap angling pole bar I would trust. Indeed, in the event that it costs relatively little and it's not an Ugly Stik, I'd generally as soon utilize a hand line.

It utilizes both graphite and fiberglass to give affectability and quality without yielding a lot of either.

What makes the Ugly Stik GX2 a lot more tough and adaptable than different poles is that it utilizes both graphite and fiberglass to give affectability and quality without yielding a lot of either. It highlights a principally graphite shaft for solidness, alongside a delicate, clear, and adaptable fiberglass tip.

The graphite spine gives the medium length overwhelming GX2 the quality to perform commendably on bigger fish, while the adaptable fiberglass implies you aren't going to relinquish the affectability required for littler gets like trout or panfish. I likely wouldn't strive for any marlin or sailfish, be that as it may. The adaptable tip implies it won't be perfect for controlling baits, yet we think the additional adaptability is more important to most anglers—particularly apprentices.



The GX2 is the main bar in its value classification that comes fitted with one-piece stainless steel line guides, which can truly be crushed with a stone and still look after serviceability.

Notwithstanding having a sturdy shaft, the GX2 is the main pole in its value classification that comes fitted with one-piece stainless steel line controls, which can actually be crushed with a stone and still look after serviceability. Amid testing, I incidentally planted my foot on one that I'd left in the base of my watercraft—as one does—however it was unscathed. Shoddy, shaky aluminum oxide aides are the business standard at this value point so it's pleasant that the general population who make the Ugly Stik consider strength so important. Aside from higher-end models that cost four or five times the cost, I've never seen this component in a turning pole. This is additionally an overhaul from the old Ugly Stik, which utilized two-piece pop-out aides that were the main frail spot in a generally impenetrable pole.

Just on the off chance that anything goes wrong, all that is expected to exploit the Ugly Stik's class-driving seven-year guarantee is photographic confirmation of the harm, your receipt and shipping costs. That is much better than the one-year guarantee scope offered by Shimano, Penn, and even Shakespeare itself on its non-Ugly Stik items.

One fast shopping note: ensure you're purchasing the turning bar, not the throwing adaptation of the same bar from the same producer. They're anything but difficult to befuddle, and our picked reel won't fit the throwing adaptation.
