I had been experimenting all summer with different rods to use with leadcore. I would find ones that could absorb eight colors of lead but the tips weren't limber enough to my liking. Limber rods would bow from the weight of eight 7-8 colors. I was unhappy with every planer board rod I tried with lead!
I saw a In-fisherman where one of the guides were using the new Ugly Stick GX2 rods and they looked interesting. Saw some at BPS a month ago and bought some. They are perfect for leadcore! They are sturdier in the butt section than regular Ugly Sticks and don't bow, but the tips are still light and let you know when you have a small eye or perch (dragger). That way you don't drag them around for a half hour unknowingly
I am seeing most of my strikes before the clicker even sounds off. They also are affordable at $39.99!
