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.
