I'm hoping to get an ugly stik gx2 light action pole and a size 1000 shimano sienna for christmas. I would think that it will be a good but cheap combo, if I get it I'll tell you if it is good or not. I hope to use it for small stream brown trout, panfish, and small bass. Edit: I just realized that this is from May, so I hope you got a good ultralight pole!
