The new Vendetta casting rods have been updated and newly designed to feel more balanced. With advanced 30 ton graphite that utilizes advanced IntraCarbon technology. The IntraCarbon technology uses thin layers of multidirectional carbon fibers within the construction of the rod. As a result these layers provide for an increase in compression strength in the rod. The rod therefore has a lower failure rate when put under intense loads. The 30 ton rating applies to the superior grade of graphite in the rod. This material allows for the rod to be lighter with increased sensitivity. It also allows the angler to feel more strikes through the vibrations of the rod.
