The patented Ugly Stik soft tip has plenty of give and really helps from ripping the lips off the salmon when they are fighting yet still has plenty of feel and backbone for lead. While I wouldn't use this short of a rod on my downrigger, it certainly is a perfect planer board rod and a by yourself trolling rod and would certainly recommend it. Well worth the $39.00 MSRP!
Hope everyone had a good weekend fishing!

Dan, do you know what the model number of GX2 you are using is?
