They are more than strong enough. I will post a youtube video below, testing a 6'6' medium powered version, not even the medium heavy or heavy. The downsides of these rods is they are very insensitive and the action is on the slower size, so say if you fish for bass you won't be doing much more other than using it for moving baits. For fish you target in a vertical presentation (catfish, salmon, trout etc.) they're much more effective. Watch these videos where Luke from the catsandcarp youtube channel attempts to break a 6'6" Medium Ugly Stik: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQuJUbAQJ58 Part 2 (the rod harness helped break it in part 1, so he did a part 2 to get the real lifting strength of the rod) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgc2y8QYBXE **Q: Can this rod handle Pacific saltwater surface fish such as smaller yellowtail, Pacific barracuda and sand or calico bass?** A: i just caught a 5ft bull shark on the 6ft medium rod with a penn battle 4000 on it and i usually use the rod for my micro rig but blew my mind this thing was bent in a u and I was waiting for it to snap but held strong the whole fight. reel seat felt stressed but it held. **Q: Is it good for bass fishing?** A: For me it is perfect for Bass fishing ; I fish in farm ponds in Ga. and have been using a short Ugly Stick with a pistol grip and bait caster for over 30 years and have never had any issues with the rod. I will die with a Ugly Stick in my hands. **Q: Can this rod be used for salt water for trophy striped bass"rock fish" in the Chesapeake Bay** A: It handled a 55 lb Blue fin Tuna (on the heavy rod) out of San Diego and numerous yellow fin up to 40 lbs as well as pacific yellow tail up to 30 lbs. I would think it would deal with east coast "rock fish" just fine. ## Customer Reviews ### โญโญโญโญโญ Nice rod!! *by T***. on 27 November 2020* I like this rod and it look so strong. ### โญโญโญโญโญ ุงู„ู…ู‚ุจุถ ู…ู† ุงูŠ ู†ูˆุน *by M***R on 3 April 2024* ูŠุฑุฌู‰ ุชูˆุถูŠุญ ู†ูˆุน ุงู„ู…ู‚ุจุถ ู‡ู„ ู‡ูˆ A B C D ## Frequently Bought Together - Ugly Stik GX2 Casting Fishing Rod - Vicloon 120 PCS Fishing Lures Mixed Including Spinners,VIB,Treble Hooks,Single Hooks,Swivels,Pliers and Tackle Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/395918199-ugly-stik-gx2-casting-fishing-rod](https://www.desertcart.it/products/395918199-ugly-stik-gx2-casting-fishing-rod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
