Hi all... I need advice on choosing a bass rod between the abu vengeance 7' MH and the new daiwa pro Z 7' MH. I fish a lot from a float tube and fish mainly texas rigged worms and crankbaits. I currently have a shimano clarus and a loomis and franklin platinum setups with shimano cruxus and daiwa excellor reels...
Is anyone able to assist in knowing which of the two rods are better.?

Thanks

Hi,

I haven't yet but believe me I do want to... Hard to find them in the cape.

If I can get my hand on them then I will give it a bash. Have only heard good things bout them.

Cool, I have the quantum smoke and a sensation cheapy, believe me the cheapy is much better than the smoke...
The sensation rod's grip allows for much more contact area to feel the slightest bite on weightless plastics resulting in a lot more early strikes

Thanks... I will definately give it a shot. I fish the damiki fluke weightless heaps so should be good for that.
Getting a rod the weekend so will let u know my choice and results.

Thanks.

Hi,
the abu vengeance is an absolute winner in the value for money catagory. sensational angling supplies make micro guide rods in the same price range. frogstar mentioned the kisttler rods... those are probably the best. yet the price will be higher for a better rod. try your local bass shop for the sensation magma micro guide rod. they are in the 600-700 price bracket but it definetely is a better rod. your casting is super accurate with the micro guides and the smaller guides also straighten your line more (less coils for the smaller diameter) thus giving you a little more distance as well.

chat soon and happy bassin,
