Vengeance

Vengeance was introduced as a 2021 new series and remains the brand's heavy vertical jigging rod. The blanks are custom-rolled high-modulus Japanese Toray graphite with Cross Core Carbon reinforcement, rolled short and in one piece: 5 ft 3 in for the PE3 to PE6 model, 5 ft 2 in for PE4 to PE8 and 5 ft 1 in for PE6 to PE10, with jig ranges from 160 g up to 650 g. Each rating is offered in spin and overhead. Spin models carry Fuji KW stainless SiC guides and overheads Fuji LC SiC guides; all use a Fuji DPS 20 reel seat with the custom locking nut the brand specifies on its heavy rods. The brand states that initial trials of the XH blank exceeded a 40 kg dead lift at 45 degrees and that the series was tested at the Cocos Keeling Islands on dogtooth tuna and yellowtail kingfish. The design brief is maximum jig action under heavy load without fatiguing the angler. At AUD 649.99 to 699.99 Vengeance sits in the upper tier of the catalogue, below only Raptus, Aggressor and Solist.
