Product Details and Uses

Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 Boat Rod – 7ft 4in | 12-20lb

The Shakespeare Ugly Stik name is legendary among boat anglers for one reason: they are arguably the toughest rods ever built. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we’ve seen gear come and go, but the Ugly Stik remains a staple in any serious angler’s arsenal.

The GX2 Boat series continues this legacy of “indestructibility” while introducing modern refinements. Built using the famous Ugly Tech construction—a blend of graphite and fiberglass—this rod offers the perfect balance of a sensitive glass tip for bite detection and a powerful mid-section to pull fish off the bottom.

Whether you are a traditionalist using monofilament or a modern angler utilizing the direct feel of braid, the GX2’s smooth, progressive action cushions the lunges of hard-fighting fish, preventing hook pulls. The extended EVA foregrip is a standout feature, designed for maximum comfort during long fights, allowing you to find the perfect leverage point.


Where to Use This Rod

The 12-20lb class is the “sweet spot” for UK boat fishing. It is light enough to feel the “rattle” of a Black Bream but possesses the backbone to stop a charging Bass.

  • Wrecking & Reefs: Ideal for working lures or live baits for Pollock and Bass.

  • Inshore Bottom Fishing: Perfect for targeting Black Bream, Ray, and Whiting.

  • Light Drift Fishing: Excellent for “feathering” for mackerel or working small lures for sandeels.


Technical Specifications

At Gerry’s, we highly recommend this rod for anyone needing a reliable “workhorse” that performs like a high-end specialist tool.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: If you are looking for a rod that can be thrown in the back of the car, survive the rigors of a commercial charter boat, and still catch you fish year after year, the GX2 is the one
