What we have here is a brand with<br />

great history making some of those unbreakable<br />

fibreglass rods and making<br />

the wives of anglers pretty unhappy for<br />

a few decades. Well, rods of such have<br />

since taken a backseat to modern rods<br />

that will not survive the washing machine<br />

torture or the oven over burn.<br />

It is nice to sometimes walk down memory lane and enjoy the benefits of<br />

fibreglass rods but we all know that modern rods came about for a few reasons.<br />

Some of these reasons include lightweight, sensitivity, and sexiness.<br />

Shakespeare has decided to bring the old world wonders of fibreglass and<br />

combine them with the modern sexiness of graphite. With that the Ugly Stik<br />

GX2 was born.<br />

Fun Fact: Shakespeare started making fishing tackle since 1897<br />
