Wrong action
I have a love for ugly sticks. I own 5 or 6, who keeps tabs. It was just the wrong action. But, was a nice rod.
Ugly Tuf and Pretty
I have the old school steelhead rod, I own the 8'6" MH and like a previous reviewer said, it performs like a M or ML. So that is the same. New ones look so pretty! Still unbreakable too!
Big game rod
Own the 8'6" MH and I can say it feels like M or even ML. Can bomb spoons out with ease. Loads up a huge amount of weight. Unbreakable for sure.
I would check out the Shimano Sedona or the Shimano Nasci
<span>Hi Lu, The Ugly Stik Elite rods come with a combination of single foot and double foot guides with the double foot having the guide secured on two sides and single foot having only one side epoxied due to the nature of the guide design according to
Yes, the full blank runs all the way through the entire length of the rod.
