[stevie-r-@hotmail.co.uk]

Wifey said I could have a new boat rod for xmas, was looking at the shimano
vengeance range, but talking to a tackle shop owner this morn and he reckons he has had a couple returned due to snapping, has anyone got one
and had any probs with it.

Hi mate,
I bought a Vengeance boat rod a couple of years ago. It's only a 6 - 12 lbs model, but I've had quite a few cod on it up to 6lbs, and it's still intact. I love using it and it's great sport. You've got me a bit worried now mind !

New that would get a snide remark from either you or Mark

Got one last year and not snapped, they do have a soft action. In the last 2 years I've snapped 6 rods from local companies costing a lot more than these. In summary they're ok but not as good as their reels.

Excuse me Steve, don't tar me with the same brush as Duncan............me write a snide remark, an outrageous calumny, as Miss Jean Brodie would say!

Quite a few on here seem to love the Fladen Maxximus solid carbon rod Steve. I was hinting to Lynn recently with little success - "sell the damn rods you have just now and then we may talk about it!"

Cant really comment on the shimano rods (reels are spot on) Fladen Maxximus solid carbon for me every time

And just before any one else says it, " I know, I don't give them much of a test"
