The Ugly Stik GX2 is infused with enhancements that go
beyond cosmetics. Featuring Ugly Tech™ Construction and a new blank through
reel seat design; the Ugly Stik GX2 combines graphite and fiberglass to create
a strong yet sensitive rod with better balance.
When developing the new Ugly Stik GX2, Shakespeare took
angler comments very seriously. As a result of this consumer research Ugly
Tuff™ Guides were created. The newly designed one-piece, stamped stainless
steel guides provide maximum durability and no insert pop-outs.
Featuring enhanced cosmetics, the Ugly Stik GX2 showcases a
sleek matte black finish highlighted by red and silver accents giving the rod a
more modern look. The rod also features the Ugly Stik logo etched into the EVA
grip to give it a look all its own.
While there are a number of new features the Ugly Stik GX2
also gives a nod to the heritage of the original. The iconic Ugly Stik® Clear
Tip® still delivers extra strength right where you need it and is sensitive to
the lightest strike. Cosmetically the Ugly Stik GX2 balances a modern look with
the classic diamond wind above the grip that many consumers loved about the
original.
