Welcome to the
Next Generation In 1976,
Shakespeare began a journey that would
The new Ugly Stik
GX2 is set to continue the legacy that was established 37 years ago, As
a replacement series to the original Ugly Stik, the Ugly Stik GX2 is
ready to continue building upon the legendary toughness and durability
in waters around the globe. 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.
