Abu Garcia Vendetta Spinning Rod?

  I'm looking to buy a couple of MH spinning rods for bass fishing.  I mostly (99.999% of the time) fish soft plastics - Texas rigs and split-shot.  I have two decent medium powered spinning rods but I've been looking at the medium-heavy spinning rods at Gander Mountain and like the ones Iv'e seen.  I plan on buying some time this summer the St. Croix Mojo MH spinning rod.  I was looking at an Abu Garcia rod too and I think it was a Vendetta and it was around seventy or eight dollars.  I remember looking at the tag and I noticed it had a three or five year warranty which I found interesting.  

   I'm interested in the medium heavy rod.  This rod would be used for Large Mouth Bass and using soft plastics.  When it comes to Texas rigs, the heaviest bullet weight I use is 3/16.  I might use a spinner bait from time to time to on any MH rods I get.  The line I mostly use is six to ten pound mono.  

 So, how are the Abu Garcia Vendetta spinning rods?  I mostly bank fish but plan on doing a lot of kayak fishing this summer.  I want a rod that can take some punishment when bank fishing (laying down on the ground/on rocks/dirt/etc..)  How good or bad is Abu Garcia when it comes to their warranties?  

 Thanks!
