Steelhead spinning rod

I have owned many Ugly Stik rods in the past. I'm still using most of them they work very well and last for years. I have wanted to get a longer Steelhead rod now that I'm retired and fishing more. The price was very good thru Walmart so I bought it and am very happy with it.

Love it

Hammering kings with this rod. Nice and long so it helps menuver around the boat %26 trolling motor. It is a little heavy and not balanced well after a reel goes on, seems to be top heavy. But I fixed it

I ordered a medium, perfect for salmon , but for steelhead I would have ordered a medium light. Im sure the medium light would have worked for salmon too. My boo boo.
