Are you looking for a finesse spinning setup, with a fast action and a light tip? The Abu Garcia Revo Spinning reel, paired with the Abu Garcia Venerate rod just might be the combo for you.
The Venerate rod series is comprised of a 36-ton graphite blank, with a high quality cork grip. Titanium guides are used throughout the rod, all with Zirconium inserts. Abu added many other refinements, including a carbon-locking hood design on the reel seat. There are 12 spinning models, as well as two casting models. These rods offer a three year limited warranty, and retail for $129.
Pairing the Revo spinning reel with the Venerate rod keeps this setup extremely light. Equipped with the Rocket Line Management System, which is a combination of bail angle, spool lip design and slow oscillation, you are able to cast further and manage line better. A Carbon Matrix drag system keeps smooth and consistent drag pressure throughout the drag range. With the AMGearing machined gear inside, the reel offers better tolerances and performance throughout its lifespan. The Revo family of spinning reels begins at $129 as well.
