i can tie a spade end hook size 22 from the UK on 4 lb line easily

What fishing knot did you use?

Buying a 6' light and trying to cast 3 oz. of weight is not a negative

Could you do a review of new 2024 6' gx2 light action spinning rod and would you still use a 6' or a 6'6"

I have a Fenwick Eagle light action, moderate and Ugly Stik GX2 ultralight and like both. I also have a wooden clock just like yours...lol It was a wedding gift from my dad's buddy 41 years ago.

I catch a shark with #9 hook!

I'm borrowing this tent for 5 days at a music festival. Thank yoh for the set up video.

I have the 6ft medium heavy with a Diawa Regal 3000 reel and 15lb braid and I love that for fishing in a thick swampy creek either from the bank or a kayak. Works the bass rigs great, especially top waters and Texas rigs and I can rig it for catfish if I want and it's plenty stout. The other rod I take is a 5'6 Shakespeare Micro light action rod with a Shimano Sienna 1000 reel and 6lb mono. Makes the pan fish and smaller bass feel like a fun fight but can also haul in the unexpected larger bass and catfish. It's great for things like beetle spins and jerk baits too. Landed a 6lb bowfin with that this weekend.

Hello sir, I am a beginner. Can I ask you a question? Can you tell me how to choose the right jighead weight?

The Fish Lo-K-Tor is a transistorized echo sonar very similar to those used in WW2. You will see the spinning card and argon bulb face in submarine movies. Heathkit had a transistorized kit, too. Lawrence also made a similar Lemco Model 505C, but with 1 knob and a cylindrical transducer. You can build accessories to increase it's capabilities.

Hi , is this rod Ok for JIG?

Was wondering how you would rate a 6' light gx2 spinning rod and a 2500 symetre with 6# mono

Great video and I just picked up one of these travel rods. Do you seal the cork on your rods?

I now identify as your 8 year old daughter. I don’t know how to tell my loved ones

Stellar memories for the kids

setting mine up again and wanted to see a video. This was so helpful. i kept mine up for months and roof got some sun damage - i’m going to make a second tarp fly to fix that. So anyone thinking about wanting to keep it up for an extended time would be wise to put it under another structure or put a tarp over it. It is waterproof before sun damage. It is a wonderful tent with excellent ventilation.

Its called an UGLY Stik for a reason

yes almost of their rods are expensive and fragile, most of the reviews break the tip of it, while you can buy any rods half the price of it that could lay twice as big as those st. croix could and multispecies rod.

great vid, thanks. in the future it would be helpful to know the height of the person in the tent to better understand the height at the edges of the ceiling. i assume it doesnt drop that much from the 6'8" peak though based on the shape.

Just ordered one today. And a fluger president. Thanks for the details.

I bought this used and I have a question about the LED light. How do you fully twist the ceiling light to align the dots?

Red worms is good bait for them fish

I've got 40 lb catfish these are amazing

donde se podria comprar ahora ?

Please pet the cat more. Get your priorities straight. Thanks for the informative review.

Does it have box or bag for carrying?

I like the GX2 reel on my GX2 rod 🤔 don't want the Shakespeare reel or logo on it. Time to search for the one. I've seen them in Cabela's and Walmart 🎣⁉️ I don't want crime on it with Shakespeare reel. Red and black for me.

would this rod be good for sheepshead fishing?

I put a penn 4000 on mine for canoe striper fishing and it has been a tank so far..

My newest favorite is the gx2 elite 9'. I use it in the back bays and even on the north jetty in Ocean City MD. I've heaved 30" stripers over the rocks. I agree it's almost like a fly rod, I throw 1/2 to 1 1/2oz and slay stripers, Redfish, Trout, blues etc. I love it , very sporty, sensitive and durable as Ugly Stik is known for. I have ugly sticks still that are well.over 30 years old that I had rebuilt and use today in the surf. I've yet found a fish that has beaten the gx2. I normally use 20# braid w/ a 20-40 lb flouro leader. Best day: 38 stripers in 2 hrs wade fishing in the back bay

Thanks so much! My son and I just made ours with the wire tires and it’s PERFECT… appreciate the video

Great review on the Coleman Weathermaster. I bought this same tent a while back, but not had opportunity to use it yet...bought it for my "Glamping" option. Plan to use it this next season camping near a local Lake. I also was attracted by the screened in room....I have an inexpensive tarp I can lay in that area to provide ground shield if needed, and remove it if raining so it does not pool water.

Once you mentioned bendable hooks and bending the barbs in, I'm done watching.

2024 still at Walmart

This is one of the most helpful reviews on the Presso. Thank you!

Bass rods are medium and don't bend properly like that⁉️ not just one brand just think about what you sed on the bend I've seen people try that and bend there rod and brake the rod. Not if it has a lot of carbon. Or that just me I guess.

I got the medium heavy with the GX2-50 reel is just right for me for Bass and big catfish with no problem. I've broke a Lew's cat daddy pole buy it just being in my truck but the other ones didn't but that's not the first Lew's Xfinity medium pole the tip off. I don't think they used enough fiberglass in it like Ugly Stick.

I just got new GX2 combo with the GX2-50 reel out of three new combos one LEW'S cat Daddy Zebco big cat in medium heavy is my rod and fiberglass made not the graffiti just breaks to fast do like the carbon fiber and fiberglass ☝🏼 my GX2 pole is perfect in balance for Bass and big catfish with 7 foot pole just right. Like the Felix of old school fiberglass pole's. The Zebco big cat and Boss Hawg will felix and not brake. Still have my first Ugly Stick rod from the 80's like my grandfather luwers box and pole Mitchell 🎣 with reel Abu Garcia Abumatic just old stuff but cool factor 😎 vintage.

I have been trying to figure out whether to go with a medium or light GX2 for my canoe trips (mainly targeting trout and walleye), the lure ratings being almost identical wasn't making my decision any easier. I figured I'd be good with the light, but your video helped convince me. I appreciate the the time you put into presenting all the info, thank you!

I have a st croix bass x rod 6'10 med lite. i catch 12 lb carp all the time and its holding pretty well, i love it.

Been using mine for pier and surf fishing absolutely amazing rod all my other rods have been left untuched ive been looking for a high quality multi purpose rod for a while

I have a few of the Elite models too but they dont have as much backbone as the GX2. Even though the ELite is lighter I still prefer the GX2 for walleye jigging because of the stiffer backbone, which allows me to set the hook better and faster and I also feel the GX2 is just as sensitive for feeling the bottom when jigging.. The only positive thing about the ELite is that its lighter and has a cork handle, otherwise I much prefer the GX2

Nice, hey did you like the 6' presso over the 6' 6" or what were your findings ? Thanks.

Nice but what I used was heavy duty zip ties witch worked great and much stronger then fishing line . You will need to drill your holes a little bigger . It’s a quick way to make a fisherman cart .👌

I bought two of the ugly stick pro light 7 foot medium heavy rods. It seems they only sell them at Walmart now I haven’t use them a whole lot yet but the medium heavy version is an absolute beast. I did catch a 18 pound flat head on it, no problem whatsoever. I know people laugh at me for buying that ugly stick, but those are just a good solid affordable rod.

Honest review! 👍

Good video. Just bought one of these today, now I know I can set it up myself. Thanks

Its not fair if you can see what your fishing theirs mostly trouts in the water

I have a 5,6 rod of the pack it and I haven’t tried it yet

I want one of these old rods
