This rod is well built and sturdy. It has good backbone and can fight the bigger fish easily. The only thing about it that I wish it had a little more play when swinging fish into the bost. I have fished a few tournaments and also just at a few farm ponds and it performs well all the time. Overall great pole and fishes as well as some of my St. Croix's for a lot less money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I more than love fishing, it's a way of life to me now. I own dozens of rods and reels, and I have to say the vendetta is a great rod to own. I have bought other rods that are much more expensive and have better reviews but this one is a rod I will keep buying more of. It is fairly light, extremely sensitive, and very very strong. I caught at least 50 bass the first weekend I had it and it worked like a charm. The only down side of this rod is the reel seat. The metal part that screws down onto the part of the reel that holds it onto the rod is a rugged type piece of metal and it digs into the reel, causing it to be worn down and weakening it. With all the fishing I do, I will have to replace the reel that I use on it sometime because it will eventually snap off, so I don't recommend using too expensive of a reel with it. Other than that, this is a great casting rod for baitcasters (especially the revo S) and I will be looking to buy more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been a big fan of my Vengeance casting rod, works like a champ. So when I needed a rod to compliment my brand new Orra 30 reel (which also works like a champ) so I bought a Vendetta. Felt good...light...nice color...price was decent.
Went fishing a few times and didn't catch anything, but it felt good with nice action. Then, finally landed a largemouth that was 2lb-1oz. Problem is, when the fish got about 15 feet from the shore the Vendetta rod snapped in half...literally in half. Had to pull the fish in the rest of the way by hand.
This is simply unacceptable. There is NO reason for a rod to break on the first fish you catch, especially a fish that only weighs 2 pounds on a rod that costs this much. Now I'm out the money! DISAPPOINTED!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've just got back into fishing with a baitcast and selected the Abu Garcia 6'9" medium heavy paired with the Black Max reel(while I wait for my Revo to come in). This set up is awesome! The fist day I used it was for redfish. The rod is very sensitive yet has plenty of back bone to handle even bull reds with ease. The next day I went fish in front of my house for bass. I caught 10 bass and one speckle trout in 40mins. The rod and reel handled the fast pace fishing with ease. Great job and I have already recommened this product to many friends!
