im thinking about getting some vendetta rods because i heard they pair well with revos, do they really? and what do they compare to? Shimano Clarus? or Crucial? Gloomis? haha i know they're 80 dollar rods so let me know what you guys think of them.

We sell them at the store and they seem to be very good rods for the price. No complaints yet. Jim

We had a fisherman that won a Vendetta rod during the WON San Diego event. He says right now he has as many rods as he can use with most of them being G-Loomis'. Nothing against the rod...

He might be willing to give you a great deal on his new rod.

I say try before you buy. I got a 7' MH Vendetta spinning rod last week for my guiding clients to use for baby Tarpon this winter. The rod is very tip heavy, the blank is quite thick, the handle is a bit too short, and the aluminum butt cap has sharp edges that actually kind of hurt. Other than that it looks cool

I heard the casting rods are much nicer and that the spinning rods "missed" their mark. Judging by mine, I'd say thats true. It feels "ok" with a reel on it, but not as good as advertised!

They are a bit tip heavy. I bought a 7'MH casting rod last week with 20% off ... have not used it yet. Hope to in a couple of hours!

I tried to put one of the BPS butt caps on it, but it doesn't fit very well ... I'm going to have to try and find another way to counter balance that rod. Once balanced, it seems pretty good. I will only throw blades and topwater with it though.
