Zeeso Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Picked up a 6'6" med/ fast rod I found on sale in the back of a clearance rack in walmart for 60 bills. Thinking about what technique to use it for don't have any other rod wirh these specs. Im thinking some 3/8 spinners and chattersbaits, whay do you guys think? Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted February 19, 2013 Super User Posted February 19, 2013 Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, worm and jigs. To be honest the M Vendetta is a very versitile rod. Quote
Goose21 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I have the same rod paired with a premier spinning reel. I fish any and everything on this setup, with 10lb yo-zuri hybrid. Works great with weightless plastics and light t-rigs, 1 and 1.5's, spook jr's, shakey head, etc. Quote
Amarley Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I paired the same rod with a 7.1:1 Pro Qualifier and use it for buzzbaits, spooks, and other topwater lures mostly. Sometimes I'll use it for spinnerbaits as well. It's a pretty good rod, especially for $60. Quote
CTGalloway21 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 be careful fishing a fast action rod with a spinnerbait that you don't pull the lure out of the fishes mouth on hookset. I like a little rod bend on my spinnerbait setups. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted February 19, 2013 Super User Posted February 19, 2013 I have the same length, power and action on a first gen Vendetta, the cheapest rod I bought and I really like it. Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, chatterbaits work well, I've also used it to throw senkos in a pinch and some small 1/4oz jigs although it isn't the most sensitive rod for that. One thing I found that I now dedicate that rod to is soft jerkbaits like flukes and slug-o's, the reason is the medium is more like a medium heavy when it comes to how stout the rod is but it does load really well and is a great casting rod with a lot of power to set the hook through plastic.

Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 19, 2013 Super User Posted February 19, 2013 I am going to use my 6'6" Avid Medium/Fast and pair it with my Curado 50E and use it for light plastics and shaky heads. Maybe this would work for you too? Quote
