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.

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!

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.

Hello there,

Is the guides on this rod secured and wrapped on both side of the eye like it's depicted in the picture or is it only secured on only one side,

the reason I ask is some pictures I've seen of this rod shows only secured on one side and some show being wrapped on top and bottom of the guides.

Thank you

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 Shakespeare. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with!
