Toronto Sportmen’s Show: Abu Garcia Vendetta

Yesterday at the Toronto Sportmens Show I got my first hands-on look at the new Abu Garcia Vendetta rods, and I must say I’m impressed. These rods are extremely light and very nicely balanced. This is the first year for these rods so they do not come in as many variations as other established lines of rods. Still this is a solid release of a hot new product. I even got a few closeup shots of the laser etched butt cap too! I think I might pick one of these up this weekend, might even pair it with an Abu Garcia Revo!

These photos were all taken by Brandon Seibel, one of my friends and co-workers, on his Canon 50D. He will be joining me again this afternoon when we check out one of the other buildings.

    Awesome stuff – is that section in front of the reel seat plastic or metal?

    Matt Ellis is doing all of the work. http://www.sevencrownstattoo.com/

    Vendettas are going for about 70 at the show I believe, they weren’t selling them at this booth, you can get them (and just about everything else) tax free at the sportsmen’s show right now. The Vengeance are going for 40 I think. Retail they’re probably 75-50 respectively.

    I believe the section in front of the reel that screws down is plastic.

    I stand corrected, the piece that screws down to hold the reel in place is metal, not plastic.
