Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Fishing Rod 6'5"

I bought this thinking it would be the same handle length of the previous medium ugly stik I had for years. The medium has been though hell and back and never broke. I figured I would buy the newer model in the heavy version since I’m not a fan of the medium sensitivity. Well it arrived in a plastic bag, who ships a rod in a plastic bag?? Fortunately it wasn’t broke or missing a tip. No idea how…. But the handle is hugeeeee compared to the medium action rod. It’s like a salt water rod. Very dissapointed in the length of the handle. I guess I’ll have to keep it because amazon is horrible when it comes to returning fishing rods. Ugh another strike out for me with a fishing rod. Look at the comparison of lengths of the handles between the heavy rod and the older style medium rod. Just know the handle is huge when you buy it. Fair warning!
