Shimano Sellus or Abu Villian? Similar price since the Villian is on sale for $89 now. I believe Sellus is $70 or so but just want to know what people think. 

between those 2, villian.... abu has good customer service as well.

go on gandermountain's website and look, they have some models marked down to $89 AND you get a $30 gift card!

It it doesnt have to be one of those two you might consider a Fenwick ffotackle.com has some decent prices on them.

Are these the only two you will settle for? There are an enormous amount of quality rods in that same price range other than the ones mentioned. 

Fenwicks are great. And the Denali Jadewood is on sale from a certain Warehouse that sells Tackle.....

Villian - 3 year warranty.....Sellus - 1 year warranty! Bass Pro Shop has the Villians mark down to $79.99 1st Generation not the 2.0. Plus for $9.95 a free hoodie sweatshirt from Abu. Pretty much the $89 but you get a free sweatshirt

Just don't get the Villain 7' 6" MH unless planning to use 5/8 oz. or above lures.  Mine will barely cast a 1/2 oz. spinnerbait a decent fishing distance.  Not knocking Villain rods as I really like my ML spinning rod.  Both are original models.
