My friend is just starting to get into fishing. He bought that combo and catchs fish along side me while I use my $250~ combo .
He out fished me the other day we went for bluegill. He also doesn’t baby his gear and the rod I’m has been holding up. Reel is dying.
She good looks nice ive Owen three of them reels bad ass but the rod is dudu thay brake easy I rather run the dock runner, even though it’s a Shakespeare lbs
i have the older model micro series 7 footer. got two of them on sale for 9 dollars. my mom has caught her pb large mouth and rainbow with it. going on about 6 years of service, reels got janky on both after anout 4 years but the rods are awesome for the price.
Why do so many rave about the gx2? I went to wal mart and looked at these budget combos people on here talk about and the gx2 and the regular ugly stick reels were neither super easy or smooth to reel. The micro was so much easier and smother which is sad for less than half the price
I like enjoyed using that combo for many years! But I just perch purchase the Zebco Roam $49 + taxes at Walmart or $44 at Sports Academy! It cast better and farther for $18 dollars more!
For me it would have to be the lews Xfinity or Reactor. Insanely smooth combo one piece and very sensitive. Or even the Black Max spinning combo, it’s a little whippy for my liking, but I’ve landed hundreds of fish using the good old wacky rig on it and it’s still going strong.
Negative…… Ugly Stik dock runner. $17.44…… just do a quick YouTube search if you don’t think it can catch big fish. If you really are on a strict budget and need something that’ll haul you in some decent fish you can’t beat the dock runner.
Got a lews Hank parker cranking stick and a pfleuger monarch 3 years ago and it’s been pretty solid for the 75$ I paid for both. The reel is a little sassy in the cold but that combo has held up to quite a few river smallies and a accidental musky
I use the Berkley Fusion spinning combo for catfish. I’ve had it for nearly four years and it still holds up. Caught everything from small channel cats, all the way to huge flatheads on it. It was only about 35 bucks I think.
Those are great i have the rod i didnt buy the combo because those get snatched up quick out here😂 but i just got a sweet reel for it for 26$ and im super siked to try it out as the one i have on it now has some MILES on it.
For freshwater many can get it done this is a great choice just dont get it wet with that saltwater and if so dunk it on freshwater ant it will last forever 🙏💪
Steady rod is in fact better 🤑
absolutely love my gx2 had it for many years, still bring it with me along with my 2 other go to poles every trip!
I’m addicted to that rod the reel is trash but for 20 bucks I have gone through 3 of them and just swap the reel to my m1 500

I got that rod at walmart for only 7 dollars because the handle was missing, but I jerry-rigged it and put a different handle on it.

I have that!?😊
Please go to a real fishing store
The gx2 cost about $40 but it’ll still be intact then we’re all fossils.

Right on. It doesn’t take the take the "best" gear to have loads of fun.
Brought in a 12lb 31inch pike on my medium combo gx2. With ease too. Ugly stik are the best
What about the reverb
abu garcia vengeance spinning and baitcasting combos going for $25 right now at walmart online

The tip snap super easy

No life rod is cheaper 💀
Dock demon!
Yeah but my problem with it is it breaks way to easily I saw it at the store and broke before I could buy it
Diawa shock 25$ 10× better
A twig and line catches fish. Just depends on what you are catching.
Not true i got a 10$ ozark trail spinning combo

lews is better
Rod broke after one use and the reel broke the next day. Massive rip off and 100% trash.

I’ve had the $10 blue ozark trails wayfarer for a while and has done me great tbh

False it will always be the ugly stick.

I’ve got a couple Shakespeare Cirrus reels. Broke the rods at some point, but replaced them with Shakespeare Durango rods.
Abu black max or Lews Xfinity
Mine broke after three days… went back and got an UL ugly stick and a Pflueger they had on clearance
That thing wouldn’t last after one fish like a snook Jack redfish the gears will strip right out on you but yeah you can catch a puny Bass with it
Well where can you buy the rod of the depths?
Literally Walmart is the only place i go to for fishing gear other than local family owned stores
Those are great i have the rod i didnt buy the combo because those get snatched up quick out here😂 but i just got a sweet reel for it for 26$ and im super siked to try it out as the one i have on it now has some MILES on it.
Zepco is Cheaper
Shakespeare micro blue ultralight rod wheel combo
The lews hank parker spinning rod
And lews xfinity spinning reel
Ugly stick dock runner
Shakespeare is a great starter/mid level gear! I’ve got a carp rod 2lb test curve and it handles 10lb carp all day long
For freshwater many can get it done this is a great choice just dont get it wet with that saltwater and if so dunk it on freshwater ant it will last forever 🙏💪
