I just got this medium 6’6 ugly stick(notGX2) reel and rod combo at walmart. It was 60 dollars, just wondering if this would be good rod for a dude getting into fishing. Live in florida mainly catching a couple pound Jacks, sheepshead, etc. If anyone has any combos, brands or anything I’d love to know. Price range is anywhere below 100$ Have a few local fish and bait stores near me should I go in and talk to them and buy local?

That’ll be fine. Toss a Shimano sienna on there and you’ll be set. The reel that comes with an ugly stick is always trash
Will work well spool with 12 lb mono and get to work
Ugly sticks are great for beginners, they can do everything you need to. Just make sure to pair it up with some good line (I use 10lb mono on spinning reels) and you’ll be set.
