Ugly Stik Tiger Elite Casting Rods take the legendary Ugly Stik formula that provides unparalleled strength and durability and refines it with sleek, performance minded features. The Ugly Tech blanks used for the Tiger Elite Series utilize a higher graphite content than the standard Tiger Rods, making them lighter and more sensitive, while still retaining the toughness you\’d expect from an Ugly Stik. These casting models are fitted with a trigger style reel seat, making them more accommodating for smaller conventional reels and baitcasters. The Ugly Tuff one piece stainless steel guides resist corrosion and eliminate insert pop-outs. All models feature diamond shrink tube wrapped rear handles with EVA foregrips. All Ugly Stik Tiger Elite Rods are backed by a 7 year limited warranty.
