Ideal for anglers of all skill levels, the Shakespeare Women's Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod Combo makes fishing accessible, simple, and fun for the whole family. This fishing rod and reel combo pairs a highly durable Ugly Stik rod with a dependable Shakespeare fishing reel. Modeled after the iconic Ugly Stik but updated with cosmetic touches for women, the rod is strong and durable yet balanced for a lighter feel. The Ugly Stik Clear Tip design responds to even the lightest nibbles and strikes, while the EVA grips and soft touch handle knobs offer a firm, comfortable handhold. The fishing rod also features one-piece stainless steel Ugly Tuff guides that eliminate insert pop-outs for ease of use. Made to last for years to come, the two-piece rod is crafted with a resilient combination of graphite and fiberglass. The reel features a machined double-anodized aluminum spool and compression bail springs to ensure long-lasting performance. And thanks to its 3 bearing system and one-way clutch instant anti-reverse bearing, the fishing reel delivers smooth operation and near-instantaneous hook sets.
