With lengths and actions specifically geared towards taming salmon and steelhead, the Ugly Stik Elite Salmon/Steelhead Spinning Rods provide the ultimate balance of performance, durability, and value. The Ugly Stik Elite Series blanks are built with 35% more graphite than the Ugly Stik GX2, making them significantly lighter while still retaining the legendary toughness that Ugly Stiks are known for. These rods are built with signature Ugly Stik design features such as a Clear Tip design for superior strength and sensitivity and Ugly Tuff one piece stainless steel guides that resist corrosion and eliminate insert pop-outs. All models feature premium cork handles etched with the Ugly Stik logo and include a 7 year warranty.
