The Shakespeare Ugly Stik Elite Salmon/Steelhead Casting Rod features lengths and actions tailored specifically for salmon and steelhead fishing. Ugly Tech construction with 35% more graphite than the GX2 Ugly Stik gives anglers a lighter weight, more sensitive rod, while retaining the strength and reliability Ugly Stik fishing rods are famous for. The Ugly Tuff 1-piece stainless steel guides are superslick, so line flows through smoothly, while providing maximum durability and eliminating insert pop-outs. The Elite rod blank is finished off with Ugly Stiks signature Clear Tip fiberglass tip that delivers extra strength right where you need it. Conventional style reel seats with cushioned stainless steel hoods hold reel in place securely. The Ugly Stik Elite Salmon/Steelhead Casting Rod uses premium cork grips to provide a comfortable and sure hold, even in wet conditions.
