Anyone familiar with them? Was wondering if they are Walmart’s knock off version of ugly sticks,,, anyone use em? Are they as tough as an ugly stick?? I own 4 ugly sticks but was just wondering about the grit sticks

I know nothing about them but I consider my ugly sticks worth every penny

it looks to be the Ozark trails brand so yes a rip off of similar product to the ugly stick

very common for Walmart to use the Ozark trails brand to copy anything they think would sell at a lower price point to compete against a name brand

Me either...I own 7 Ugly sticks. I wouldn't buy a knock off to "save" $10 bucks...

From Wally World, the Berkley "Big Game" rods are excellent and worth every cent, and slightly cheaper.

I swear their just rebranded or factory second GX2's have had two of each ond as far as the real goes I can't tell much of any difference in the two. The reels kind suck but man the rods are amazing. Bough them as beat around rods so I wouldn't be heart broken if I busted one but haven't been able to yet and I treat them like crap.Other then the reels .

I love ugly sticks, if they found a way to make a comparable product at a cheaper price point then I might get one. Something tells me it’s not gonna quite measure up though. I think the next rod I buy will be a St. Croix. Spendy, but my wife has one and I use it more than she does lol I love that thing
