Product details

With lengths and actions created specifically for Salmon and Steelhead, Ugly won't quit. The Ugly Stik Elite series features 35% more graphite than Ugly Stik GX2 for a lighter weight rod, while maintaining the legendary toughness you've come to expect from Ugly Stik. Ugly Stik Elite rods feature premium cork handles, Ugly Tuff guides for durability and the Ugly Stik Clear Tip design.

Fishing has gotten too pretty. Unscratched sparkle barges with nuclear-powered engines. Rods that act like skittish thoroughbreds instead of unshod workhorses. Fish pictures taken for ‘likes' instead of refrigerator doors. It's time to fish the way it's meant to be done, with tough, durable tackle built to provide ten whopper fish pics for every one of some dandy holding a fancy rod and a fingerling. It's time to fish ugly.

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.

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.

Ugly Stik 9 Foot Xtra Heavy

Ugly Stik is strong enough to handle the larger fish and has fast action to set the hook. I also like the 7 year warranty standard with ugly Stik if you would break it.
