Anyone put these vendetta rods to good use yet? For under $100 they feel pretty good.
I haven't fished them but was wondering if anyone has?? Just feel and action in my hands makes the skeet Reese rods feel like ugly sticks! Lol

I have a few of them myself and have had zero problems. Wish they would pay me. I know of a couple that have broken, but you can say that about any rod. I have broken a few Loomis rods, but most time it can be blamed on the angler.

For a hundred bucks there pretty good. I fished with above mention guides and their not bad at all. I am sure somebody has slammed them in the car door and Is mad he can't get a replacement. I think they are only $85

I have 3 and they're pretty decent...especially for the price.
I haven't broken one yet...but apparently I'm not setting the hook in 10lb monsters like Baylorbassguy or setting like I am trying to get every fish airborne on the set.
All rods will break...I remember a post last fall about some guys who did a daily update on thier trip to Falcon and they broke a Steez practically everyday. Now...it is Falcon, but it's almost one the most expensive rods out there, so it shouldn't be breaking.
None the less...it's a pretty low risk investment in the grand scheme of things. If you break it, get it replaced and then sell it and find you a new rod to use.

My partner at Tech used one all season. We're both guilty of employing the Hercules hookset from time to time. It never gave him trouble. Weight and sensitivity are great for the price.

Good rods, hold up very well. I use mainly All Star and a buddy of mine that works for Pure Fishing sent me a couple, I never thought I would like a Garcia brand rod but these are keepers. The 7.5 ft med/heavy and heavy one piece rods are great jig and CR rods.

I have been using them in local and Federation Nation events. I have had not problem with the rods and love the action. For the money, they are good to go.
