Complete and utter garbage. Only buy for toddler. Buy a 50 dollar Daiwa reel and match it with any rod and it'll last for years

These are often out of stock. It being in stock - and at a discount - is already a deal.

Lol. This is always reviewed as one of the most durable rods out there. Mine has lasted for years but to each their own.

Picked up 3 of these while on an extended stay with family. Worked well for us for some bass and pan fish. In a large river and pond.

I don't feel ripped off and worked well enough for us to have fun and catch fish.
It's $40 and at Walmart? What are you expecting? It's not top of the line by any means but it's also not bottle of the barrel.

The rods are fantastic, I've got some that are still in service and they can handle serious abuse. The reels on the other hand are a classic example of "you get what you pay for". They retail for about $15. Expect them to last a handful of trips.

I've got a $150 reel on one of my $30 GX2 rods; I don't know why I would replace the rod, it's still working amazing 5 years later.

I got this when it was on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods last year and it really is indestructible. Problem for me is, I suck at casting the kind of reel in the thumbnail. Go watch YouTube videos of this amazing fishing rod, literally a dude was picking his kid up with the fishing pole.

Same. Wake me up when we get an Ultralight deal.
Why would an Ugly Stik UL be good? The only thing Ugly Stik does great at is durability. The sensitivity is awful on an Ugly Stik which seems counterintuitive for an UL rod.
