Abu Garcia Vendetta Casting Combo Pairing Abu's Vendetta rod with the new Max SX reel, the Abu Garcia Vendetta Casting Combos are loaded with Abu's advanced technology to provide avid anglers with a well-balanced setup for popular bass fishing techniques

Built on Shimanos Hagane metal body for rigidity under load, it pairs a 6-pin magnetic VBS braking system with a 4-bearing drivetrain and an anti-reverse bearing that virtually eliminates handle kickback on a hookset

So in light of that, I am giving this rod & reel combo a solid 5 stars

line up with end cap housing with the frame, then turn the handle slightly and it will snap into place
