SHIMANO
Designed for tuna trolling in the Mediterranean, the Vengeance Stand-Up Spiral is a very affordable rod featuring a unique spiral guide system that dramatically improves the fishing action when subjected to extreme pressures. Don't let the convenience of the Vengeance Stand-Up Spiral fool you. It may be our entry-level stand-up rod, but it packs all the power of its much more expensive siblings in the Shimano range. These unique rods have been designed by Mediterranean tuna experts to provide a convenient solution when trolling and are designed with a spiral guide placement that wraps around the rod allowing the line to follow the fighting curve. When bent, the wire is held away from the stock by guide placement producing improved action, with minimal lateral twist, allowing maximum pressure to be applied. With a name like Vengeance you just know that the empty space will be up to any challenge it faces. And it has to be, because nothing in the Mediterranean fights with the combined power, speed and determination of an angry tuna. Fitted with very strong Shimano Hardlite guides, which can withstand the pressure of thinner mono and braided lines, a Shimano aluminum reel seat will hold the largest multiplier reel securely, allowing you to drop the handle with confidence. Despite its undoubted strength, the two models in the Vengeance range retain great fishing action under extreme pressure, and have compared very favorably with much more expensive rods in tests. Available in 50lb and 80lb sizes, the seamless one-piece design never gets overloaded and still maintains added flexibility, even when you push it to the extreme. An ergonomic EVA handle ensures you stay fully connected, even when the pressure is fully on. With many recreational tuna anglers using lower quality rods supplied by the charter boats they are fishing on, the Vengeance Stand-Up Spiral is affordable enough that you now own your own specialized trolling rod.
