I got a nice reel for Christmas and I'm needing a new rod...I'm thinking about going back to my childhood rod so here I am. good review.

[carlgwizdala-pswj]

Good evening 🌆 my Fellow Fisherman and Women, l own over 20+ Ugly Stick Rods over the 35+ year's of fishing 🎣 EXPEDITIONS. I am planning on purchasing some Carbon Series and Elite Series here in 2025! Thank you for the cross comparison for these rods.😊 Sincerely CJG Sr.😊

I actually couldn't agree more. I have a carbon Eagle claw that I've had since 80's. That's my prize possession until I bought the GX2 . The GX2 is one of the most balanced poles for all around fishing up to 20# fish. Obviously I use my catfish and catfish special ugly sticks for typical catfishing and carp.
But I've used the GX2 enough to know it's a smooth outfit. It's a winner for the money. I like them so much I bought 2.

Man. You really hit the mark on this review, the gx2 is better overall. I’m loving the carbon ugly though. A good mix of both

I love Ugly Stik Elite 7' med heavy Spinning Rod. I live on the Texas Coast & caught many bull reds, trout, founder, huge black drum, you name in during my 40yrs of fishing. Never had a single Ugly Snap on me. I've even caught a 50" bull red on a 7' med heavy & 2 large Wahoo offshore & many Kingfish. Love these rods. Great review

I used to use Ugly Stik bass rods for catfishing and carp fishing. It was a lot of fun.

Real good comparison video -- thank you very much. Sorry I'm seeing this video after I went ahead and bought the GX2 combo at my local Bass Pro Shop. But, your feedback definitely reinforced my purchase. I still fish with my vintage Shimano Fighting Rods, but I was also always curious about the Ugly Stick GX2, which I plan to try out this weekend. Thanks again -- liked and subscribed.

I bought a fishing rod about a year ago and still haven't used it.
I went to go look at what kind it is and it just happens to be a GX2 Ugly Stick. After watching this I'm glad I bought it. Had no idea it was so good. I bought it because it was cheap. Lol

Bass rod! maybe. The Ugly Stik lite pro 4'6" ultra light rod paired with a Shimano Sienna 500 spinning reel with 4lb mono makes a great trout rod combo. From fingerling natives to 24in+ stockers this rod is a blast to fish with. So much so that I bought the Ugly Stik lite pro 6' medium heavy rod and paired it with the Shimano Sienna 2500 spinning reel with 10lb mono as an all-around rod from pan fish to muskie. So my point is no matter what you like to fish for you can find an Ugly Stik that will fit your needs without breaking your wallet. Good luck this year and rip some lips.

I'm new to fishing and purchased the Elite in Medium-Heavy but it's tip bend was definitely more like a a medium rating (I was disappointed). so I'm returning for the lite pro cause I prefer the cork grip. Thanks for the video, it's given me confidence in my decision to exchange for the right ugly stik

[FirstnameLastname-vydg]

Ive used ugly stiks for muskie, pike, walleye, perch, smallmouth, largemouth, bullhead, crappie, bluegill and never had an issue. I tried the graphite rods and they all broke. In my opinion ugly stik is where its at, unless you are a pro angler and sponsored you do not need anything else

[livewithnick]

I don’t use spinning rods but for comparable spec casting Lite Pro and GX2 the Lite Pro definitely feels lighter to me. I remember they used to advertise them as having 35% more graphite than a gx2. They feel very similar to the Elite I have of the same specs and virtually the same as my Intercoastal UglyStik.

[fishcake.]

I got the gx2 6’6 custom medium mod fast basically like the one you have i wanna pair it with a stratus VI svi45 I don’t know if it’s a 3000 or 4000 reel but if their a good size for it what size of braid would you recommend

[MoeKnight]

I love ugly stick. Best rod I’ve had so far and hasn’t broken yet with the monsters that I’ve bought.

[brenthaley]

Great review. Thanks so much. Ugly stik is my all time favorite especially the spl 1100 4ft 8in. Howald process rod. Hard to find.

[synapse]

I would love to see a more in depth look at the ugly stik lite pro, Ive been seeing them pop up at walmart lately and ive been considering it as a second rod.

[JollyRogerHobbies]

This was a good video, I like the comparison. I think we have all found how we like to use these rods. The Ugly Stik is my go to for catfish (carp if I ever went carp fishing), gar, redfish, or frog bodies for bass. When I want to do other types of bass fishing, and when going for panfish, I like to use a lightweight setup.

[bradenkinard]

The light pro doubles back as a catfishing rod. Ive caught several 20lb catfish on mine with no issues. Can't just drag them in like an ugly stik catfish rod but they will handle some big ones!

[Beans_YouTube]

Would you recommend these rods for UK pike fishing

[jimtaylor]

I have had or do have every generation of these rods . I've had only one ever break on me had it about 8 years.
