What we have here is a brand with

great history making some of those unbreakable fibreglass rods and making
the wives of anglers pretty unhappy for
a few decades. Well, rods of such have
since taken a backseat to modern rods
that will not survive the washing machine torture or the oven over burn.
It is nice to sometimes walk down memory lane and enjoy the benefits of
fibreglass rods but we all know that modern rods came about for a few reasons. Some of these reasons include lightweight, sensitivity, and sexiness.
Shakespeare has decided to bring the old world wonders of fibreglass and
combine them with the modern sexiness of graphite. With that the Ugly Stik
GX2 was born.

Fun Fact: Shakespeare started making fishing tackle since 1897
