If you read the reviews lately you will see the Ugly Stik is having troubles with the top three at least ,SS guides grooving out. I had two do that inside of one to two months using clean new 6 lb and 10lb XL mono with twice a week use. Tip top on one was showing signs of grooving inside two weeks.
Until Shakespeare does something about SS guides i wouldnt touch GX2 Ugly Stik. Thats why i was looking for a old fiberglass or Ugly Stik rod pre SS guides someone would part with in Classifieds. Anyway no replies. so bought a cheap new Shimano Aeroglass rod, so ill see how it holds up for what i want.
