Abu Garcia Villain rod

[Fishin' Fool]

I got my Bass Pro Shops ad today. I see they have the Villian rods on sale from $180 down to $79.97. Any thoughts on these rods? Given the $100 price drop I'll assume it's a decent deal.

I own a 7'1" MH fast that I love. A bit on the more stiffer side, but all in all its a nice rod.

Good rods for 80 bucks

Where can I find the deal at?

I've been wanting to pickup a 6'9" ml spinning to add to the arsenal.

Saw the Villian on sale monday at BPS and pulled the trigger,figured why not for 79.99

I'm not sure if it's available online but definitely in the store at Bass Pro Shops.

I have 4 of the 6'9"ml cranking rods.  I picked up two when tw put them on sale, and liked them enough to pick up two more a month later.  Hard to find a ml/mod rod that isn't a buggy whip.  This is a crisp rod that will fling little baits a long way but also has quite a bit of power.  I think it's a special rod in that flavor, but it's the only model I've held/fished.

They are definitely on the stiffer side.  I have a 7'3 H w/ micros that's an absolute broomstick.  I rarely fish it because of that. It's a nice looking stick and is pretty sensitive.  Totally worth it for $80.00.

It sounds like a medium would make a nice medium heavy in this line of rods.

I just looked online, looks like you have to go in store for this deal.

I got over to BPS today I picked up the last ML. After a gift card and credit card points it cost me less than $35.
