backbay Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) I lifted this from another site. It's a spanky-looking 3.4 ounce medium-action rod from Abu, due for a Sept '10 release. The price is supposed to be in the $US100 range. 10 guides, 6'6" not a lot of other info. I think it took some guts to go with a the white finish, though Edited February 4, 2010 by backbay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC1 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I actually like the white alot! Except there doesn't happen to be a white reel in all of the USDM fishing scene! For a hundred bucks, that will be AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Also think they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ugh, first orange now white? I hope this trend dies soon. I'm with Bill on this one. To gawdy, to flashy, whatever, I prefer my fishing rods to be much more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white rod is going along with the same role as the Vendetta and Vengence rods from Abu. Their bold design's and colours are very nice IMO. Young Guys looking for great looking rods.

BillM Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Mike, does the rod colour help with the wimmens???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mHooked Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 You'll see a few of these White rods at the Bassmaster Classic in a few weeks. There will be a number of pros tossing with these rods from Boyd Duckett. http://duckettfishing.com/home.php These are also micro guided. All guides same size at 4mm.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 i'm sure it's nice but i could never fish with a candycane, a carrot, or any other avant-garde colour schemes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish-miester Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 im with mike.. I like the white.. and i have the carrot stix.. and well i like it to.. its all personal preference.. theres no right or wrong colour.. just like some rods have to much shine / flash .. maybe they scare away fish.. who knows.. but i like it.. and thats what it all comes down to .. is to catch the eye of the consumer.. and well thats exactly what there doin I would say .. there are already tons of "plain" rods (as some would say) out there.. so e21 steped up with green and orange .. as well as other companys.. now such as abu.
