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.

UGLY STIK 8’6” ELITE SALMON/STEELHEAD SALMON/STEELHEAD ROD: Designed especially for salmon and steelhead. 35% more graphite than the Ugly Stik GX2. From the makers of the #1 rod series in the world.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Constructed from graphite and fiberglass for a lighter weight rod, while maintaining legendary toughness and strength.
7 DURABLE GUIDES: Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless steel guides provide excellent corrosion resistance and durability, and eliminate insert pop-outs during rough treatment.

GRIP WITH ETCHED LOGO: Premium type-F Cork rod handle is lightweight and slip-resistant, so you can hold on when fishing gets tough.

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.

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
