Factory balancing a rod isnt a topsecret science; its simply a step most manufacturers choose to ignore. Enter the Abu Garcia Vendetta onepiece baitcast rod, which is precisely balanced to meet the weight and specifications of the companys baitcast and spinning reels. The balanced system creates the perfect harmony between rod and reel, allowing for greater sensitivity and control without causing undue fatigue. The Vendetta is made using 30ton graphite, a superior graphite grade that produces a lighter rod with increased sensitivity. The higher the tonnage, the stiffer the fibers used in the construction of the rod. As a result, the rod efficiently transmits vibrations to your hand, so you can feel more strikes.

The rod is also comfortable to hold, with a highdensity EVA handle and a Fuji ACS and VSS softtouch reel seat. Other details include a onepiece, doubleanodized aluminum screw down that creates a secure connection; Pac Bay guides with SiC inserts; and a Texasrigged hook keeper for all bait applications. Vendetta rods are available in a variety of lengths and rod powers.

About Abu Garcia
Originally a watch factory, Abu Garcia was founded in Svangsta, Sweden, near the Morrum River in 1921. Founder Carl August Borgstrom was a clever craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering. The company originally manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers, and taxi meters until World War II, when the demand for taxi meters sharply declined. Undaunted, Abu Garcia redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels, eventually receiving the honor of being chosen "Purveyor to the Royal Swedish Court"a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers who consistently exceeded the courts high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Abu Garcia remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highestquality, mostinnovative products.
