1. Rods

The Vengeance and Vendetta rods, available in both casting and spinning models, are the highlights of Abu's rod lineup. They're graphite, providing the balance and weight combination anglers dream of.

Oh, and it's well worth mentioning the awesome Mike Iaconelli "Ike Signature" rods, designed by the pro and said to be ideal for big crankbaits.

2. Reels

The total amount of fishing equipment you need to consider yourself set doesn't stop at rod and reel.

Thankfully, Abu Garcia has the trusted Revo technology backing a ton of their baitcast and spincast reels, not to mention the serious lineup of low profile reels ready for heavy use and peak performance.

3. Combos

Put them together and what have you got? An awesome Abu Garcia rod and reel combo, expertly-matched to virtually take the guesswork out of it for you.

Believe it or not, there's more than a dozen perfect matches created with Abu Garcia's gear, and it's dang near impossible to pick something from their under $100 collection without getting a big return on cost.

It's somewhat unusual to encounter fishing brands that do both rods and reels as well as Abu Garcia, but it's a great indicator of their levels of performance.

Each time someone discovers how powerful a new rod, reel, or combo can be in the hands of a smart fisherman, Abu Garcia gets to check off another successful design off the list.
