User questions & answers

Question:	Can this rod be used for salt water for trophy striped bass"rock fish" in the Chesapeake Bay
Answer:	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.
Question:	Is it good for bass fishing
Answer:	The handle is too short to be comfortable for continuous casting (which is what I do when fishing for bass). It's great for a one time bait casting (for catfish etc) and is really tough.
Question:	Can this rod handle Pacific saltwater surface fish such as smaller yellowtail, Pacific barracuda and sand or calico bass
Answer:	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.
Question:	How many lbs can ugly stik gx2 casting rod catch
Answer:	The rod is not the thing to gauge the size of the fish you can catch unless you are fishing for marlin or some other giant game fish. It's the strength/weight of the line. And even then skillful anglers can catch fish much bigger than the number arbitrarily on the box of line they buy. So if you are fishing in a pond or river for blue gills or brookies or bass then choose a line suited for the size of fish that exist in that water. The world record bass is just over 17 pounds. So maybe the fish you can catch from your favorite pond will be less than that and a line suited to 10 pound bass or 2 pound brookies might work better. I always fish with light line so I can feel when the fish bites. Anyway that's my opinion. Hope it helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this specific rod for conventional reels
Answer:	Yes but be careful of the length of the 16oz water bottle in the little shorter length holder. Just out of curiosity since this is the 2nd time im answering this question, i jogged in place with a 16oz water bottle and it was fine. If you run fast though, the top of the bottle may tap you annoyingly.
Question:	is this a slow pitch rod
Answer:	The iPhone X max fits fine with some a little extra room. I don't know the size of the Galaxy Note 10 plus
Question:	how long is the rod
Answer:	I have an Apple 6 I-phone and I have a single pocket Fitletic belt. My I-Phone is in a leather case and it is a "snug fit". The belt has a small extra pocket for keys.
Question:	does ugly stick have a heavy duty boat pole
Answer:	We have two of these belts and have yet to wash them. The material is very durable and I would have no issue putting it in a wash machine on a gentle cycle but have yet to do so.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it a two peice rod
Answer:	I don't have an iphone 6 however my friend took hers to the apple store & it fit. This was without a case though, so it may depend on your case & how bulky it is. It may be a tight fit but it's stretchy neoprene.
Question:	Can I request a left hand reel
Answer:	It does not come with any holders for water bottles. I use this belt 6 times a week now that I am training for a marathon and I think it works great. It holds my iPhone 6 in the front pocket and that is it but I do have gels and chapstick on the belt loops. I did order the hydration add-on which adds two 8oz water bottles. http://www.fitletic.com/add-ons/hydration-add-on-8oz.html. This is a simple add-on and it just loops through the belt so I am thinking there are several others that will work as well. Hope this helps.
Question:	dose it come spooled
Answer:	Yes absolutely, this belt comes with 2 bib holders
Question:	Does it come on right handed
Answer:	I had a Samsung Galaxy nexus and it fit, not sure about the Note 2. You might have to get it and try it.

Zebco has also worked hard to improve the performance and ease of use of the strike sensitivity adjustment. This 60sz combo features a 7' medium-heavy action rod with a high-vis green tip.

Good value for the money, nice to have additional tips for different fishing action and replacement
