20% off for the 6'6" medium 2-pc spinning rod and reel combo. Basically you get the reel for free with this highly rated and reliable rod.

Edit: shipping to home OOS around 30 minutes after this deal is posted. Local store pickup YMMV.

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

I bought that reel also!!

Quote from Selman :
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.
Just looking for a durable low cost/high value UL. The one i'm using now and have used for the last decade is an even cheaper and it has worked great. For me the whole point of using an UL is its very fun to catch fish with, I don't need it to be extra sensitive.

The rod is 40.00 normally so you get a free reel, but the reel isn't that great.

Is this made of cast iron? What's the difference?

Freshwater reels bearings and components rust quickly in saltwater.

6' 6" gx2 combo has been $39 all season. The 7' combo is $49. I picked one up last month for this price. It's a great combo for money but not front page worthy.... Am I missing something?

Because its not built to handle saltwater. You can use it but you reel will corrode quickly
