These really are some great rods,ive got two of them the 6'9 MH cast,and the 7'0 M spin,use them for both fresh and saltwater,7'0 has great action soft enough tip for lil guys but plenty of backbone for the Lunkers.6'9 MH lil on the heavy side I thought but still an awesome rod,split handle gives both rods excellent sensitivity,would recommend to anyone.

THIS ROD HAS GREAT SENSITIVITY AND ACTION, BUT NO STRENGTH. I'M ON MY SECOND VENGEANCE IN A YEAR AND THE ONE THAT I AM USING NOW HAS A BROKEN TIP JUST LIKE THE FIRST I BOUGHT. I LOVE THE ROD IT FEELS SO RIGHT IN MY HAND RESTING ON MY ARM, BUT IT JUST BREAKS SO EASILY.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I read a lot of reviews of people breaking rods on their first outings? Manufacturer's should apprise consumers that these rods require being broke in so they don't break upon load being applied. I do this by tying a hook on then secure it to hook holder, CAREFULLY reel the line causing the pole to bend slightly, then let set. After several hours Carefully reel it some more, then let it sit over night. If you think your applying too much tension, back off you are. After doing this a couple day, the pole will be broke in and ready for the big ones! I bought a Vengeance after using Orra combo last year, which is a 24 ton graphite pole too. I used the pole as my frog rod for bass fishing, and it handled the explosive bites flawlessly. I expect no difference from the Vengeance! Abu Garcia make quality products & I'll always stand by them since they back their products up unlike most companies.

Amazing!!

To be completely honest, I'd heard nothing but bad things about this rod, but I must say my outing today proved all of that wrong. My second cast with this paired with the Black Max reel, I sunk my 30 lb test braid line into a fat 40 inch northern pike. The hookset power was incredible. I felt so confident, and even as it was stripping line off of my reel, the rod effortlessly wrestled this beast of a fish. Four fish later, I didn't miss a single hookset. Even some of the lighter hits were easily detectable. It has the sensitivity of my ultra light Ugly Stik, but the hookset power that you'd expect out of a rod like this. I'd definitely recommend you give this rod a fair chance despite its negative reviews by many.I never write reviews, but I had to make an exception because this rod is fantastic. Tight lines!

I just bought the 7' medium heavy casting rod and paired it with a, don't hate me I paid 10 bucks from a buddy who needed gas money, quantum burner reel. Wish I could afford the revo rocket. But I was gonna use it for bass fishing crank baits and such but I took my 4 year old fishing for the first time so I ended up dead lining catfish with it. The way this rod casts is amazing for the price. And the fact it reeled in 10 to 20 pound catfish with no problem surprised the heck out of me. I don't think you can get a better rod for the money.
