This rod is tuned by Abu Garcia for their top-of-the-line bait casting reels. It shows. The balance is outstanding. The fit and finish is great too. Glad I bought it.

what a perfect compliment to the abu garcia revo sx reel this rod is awesome great feel strong back bone and great looking to boot would have a garage full of these if i had the reels to put on them.

I fish primarily for flounder and this rod twitches when one swims near. I can feel the bait swimming normally and can even feel when it gets excited ... like when a doormat makes her approach. This is a great rod for an excellent price ... frankly, I paid a little more for mine. Try it. I am going to buy another one!

this is such a nice rod the weight is perfect i only wish i got another one i would upgrade if i knew how niceabu garcia rods really are

Arrived on time and in perfect condition. This rod is amazing. Perfectly balanced, light weight with the perfect amount of action. In short...this rod rocks.

Purchased the 7' Medium Action to pair with my new Abu Garcia Orra Inshore reel. They were made for each other, a match made in heaven! This rod was so sensitive, I felt all the terrain as I worked a jighead with a jerk bait along the bottom of the Galveston West Bay. Abu Garcia has regained my loyalty!

I bought my first 2 Vendettas last month and just ordered a 3rd and a Veritas. I ordered the Vendetta to replace a broken AllStar rod I used for flippin. I bought a Kistler Magnesium and a Skeet Reese Micro rod and did not like either of these rods. So, I thought I would try a Vendetta. I figured if I was disappointed, I wouldnt be out a fortune and I could give it to my son. Well, he aint gettin this one. I was really impressed. I fish for largemouth only and skull drug about 20 bass on my first trip with the Vendetta. Overall your not going to beat the value in these rods for the money. The only thing Im not a fan of is the aluminum Abu medallion on the end of the handle. I cant wait to get my hands on the Veritas. Good job ABU Garcia!

DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON! They package the rod in a flimsy triangular cardboard box that was too small for the 7' 6" Heavy Fast rod I ordered. The tip and about 4+ inches of the top had snapped off and was lying at the bottom of the box! I'll never buy a fishing rod from amazon EVER again. Its not worth the aggravation to see something you paid for mistreated and destroyed before you ever get to hold it.

Save yourself the hassel, buy it from somewhere else, like GanderMountain, BassProShop, Cabelas...etc. They all use sturdy cardboard tubes that are way tougher and resist bending and crushing. They cost about 20 bucks more (for my particular model, some are the same price tho) but I'd rather pay the 20 and have peace of mind then having to now run to a UPS store and ship this back to amazon so I can get a refund.

If you're wondering about the rod itself, its a fine product when not broken. One of the best looking rod I've seen, was extremely light, and I could feel light taps on the end transmit all the way to the handle. I'll buy it from somewhere else for sure, its a great product at a great price. I was going to use this rod for frogging so sensitivity isnt my main concern, backbone was, and this rod has that in excess! I might even switch to a medium heavy when I get this rod again, just so its not a complete straight rod.

I ordered this rod about a year ago, great! I might have ordered this from red's gear. Last week, I ordered this item through Amazon Store and the tip was already broken. They send me another. Broken tip again. Today, I received the third rod, broken tip AGAIN! Please do not order this product from Amazon. I order lots of things and never had this problem before.

The rods of fishing are not packed well, I did two orders of rods and both orders came in terrible conditions
