Great Rod! PNW Steelhead/SalmonThis rod was a great purchase (9' Medium spinner). Picked up a few months ago after researching a few options and glad I went with this one. I have landed a handful of chromers so far with it - biggest has been around 35" (around 15 pounds) and this rod handled it like a champ. Sensitive enough to feel the light takes as well. I have not had any issues with the guides as other reviewers have mentioned (they were from a few years ago - I'm not sure if Ugly Stik has since changed their guides). I run a braided line to a fluoro leader and the knot that passes through the guides every time I cast has not made any chips or dings/kinks in the guides whatsoever. I've dropped this rod plenty on rocks and it has fallen a few times after leaning up against my car - no issues. I highly recommend this rod.

Wonderful Rods!These rods are tough to beat for the money...strong, sensitive and feel great in action. I have fished with many of the pricier name brands, but none, especially with Ugly Stik's newer design, have prompted me to fork out the extra cash when these Ugly Stik Elite's are available. I have also read where some of the old-school Ugly Stik fans are complaining about the new design, but they need not worry...these rods are tough as nails, and will still take twice the abuse of more expensive rods.

9’ extra heavyI Use this for a punching rod great feel as well as backbone. I will purchase more rods from them.
I'm looking for a multi-task rod. Would the Model Number USESCA862H
Line Weight 12-25 lbs. be suitable for catfish in the 5-25lbs. range? My concern is about the rod not having enough backbone for large cats to hook themselves using circlehooks.

Can this rod be used in salt water?
Asked by: Jhonata86
Thank you for your inquiry. This rod is species specific, but it is certainly strong enough to be used in saltwater, depending on which model you choose. I would strongly advise you to clean the rod with fresh water at the end of each day that you take it out into the salt.
