Abu Garcia Fantasista Beast Rods
picture of part The new Villain 2.0 Rod from Abu Garcia is superior in construction, sensitivity and rod components to its older self. It is an entirely new rod, but with the same trusted name.
Abu Garcia started with premium 40-ton high-modulus graphite blanks and boosted the overall strength of the rod with their carbon V-Wrap construction. This process provides increased strength and sensitivity while maintaining the lightweight design known for in the Villain series. The Villain 2.0 anticipates the angler’s need for balance in a bass-specific rod with its titanium-alloy, strategically placed micro guide system for a lightweight and sensitive rod. The sleek, black finish rod also comes with a three year limited warranty.
The addition of high-quality Fuji reel seats round out the list of pro features on this well-refined, lightweight series. Fuji offers nothing but best-in-class feel and comfort for serious anglers. Available in eight casting and eight spinning models
Micro guides, a feature popular on European carp rods, are well known for making lighter fishing rods with enhanced sensitivity. The guides also tame line memory coils, keeping the line flatter to the rod with less friction through the guides.

Abu Garcia Ike Rod Series
picture of part Consisting of fifteen different models, the Ike rod series caters to a variety of techniques and situations. Rod blank construction consists of 36-ton high-modulus graphite for the majority of the series along with some unique, high-strain glass (HSG) cranking rods. Each rod in the series is technique specific.
Blank selection was paramount for getting the appropriate action and performance out of each rod. Abu Garcia utilized high-strain glass construction for the Delay series of cranking rods in order to deliver the right amount of delay needed for consistently hooking and landing fish. In the Power and Finesse series, premium 36-ton high-modulus graphite was used in order to achieve excellent sensitivity and lightweight performance.
Extensive R&D testing in combination with premium components including Fuji® reel seats, stainless steel guides and unmistakable custom cosmetics set these rods apart from the competition. Countless hours with the engineers were spent in the lab and in the field to dial in these rods. The result is a high performance series that is designed to give anglers an edge.
The Ike Rod Series is available in 10 casting and five spinning models.
