ugly stick fly rods for steelies

Ugly stick fly rods, has anyone used 1 for steelhead or have an opinion? An if so what weight 5-7 or there big water model 8-9 weight?
or

I broke the tip on my 3/4 wt Cortland and switched to my 8 wt Ugly Stik which works well, but much heavier and different "feel". I've caught kings on it, but usually use an 11 wt Ugly Stik for the kings!

I bought a used 8wt ugly about five years ago. It was my first fly rod. I used it for the first 3 years and it worked great. I must have cracked the inner core because I could hear a rattle in the top section, but it continued to work fine. I ended up buying another rod for steelhead and gave the ugly to my buddy. I believe he still uses it from time to time. The biggest difference that I noticed was the weight. It was surprising to me how light my new rod was compared to the ugly. Other than that, they both work perfect for the steel. I have some fond memories with the ugly,.. catching my first steel on the fly.
