help decide b/t these two rods.

I have an extra Abu Orra S spinning laying around and need some opinions to decide between two rods.

Shimano Converence CVSC66M2B (eva version)
2pc, 6’6, med, fast, 3/16-5/8, 6lb-12lb, fuji aluminum oxide, im-7

pros/cons: lifetime warranty, about $20 cheaper,

vs

the new Abu Garcia Vendetta VNTS-662-5 (coming this fall)

2pc, 6’6 med, med fast, 1/8-1/2, 6lb-12lb, stainless steel w/ zirconium inserts, 30ton

pro/cons: 1yr newer model(newer gimmick features & tech), matches reel brand, possibly more balanced w/ abu reel, likely only 1 yr warranty.

This combo will not be aimed at any specific technique. If anything probably as a do-it-all back up rod. Things I may be using it for: small swimbaits, bottom rig, slip bob, cranks, inline spinners, jigs.

i know there is no do it all setup. Even though certain specs aren’t optimized for specific techniques but does not mean it can’t work. I’ve used trebles on fast, jigs and worms one mf, slip bob on 6ft. It can still catch fish. Try to look pass the fact that one is F and the other is MF, even though I do already have more abundance of fast rods.

These two have the same line rating, length, but weight rating the Vendetta has a lighter rating. Does that mean the Shimano will have more backbone?

Does anybody see any glaring reasons why I should pick one over the other? Right now I am leaning towards the Shimano for the warranty.

I’m a little confused. You speak to knowing the difference between MF and F then you ask if the one rod will have more backbone than the other. The reason the one is rates higher than the other is because it is a Fast action, so it will have more backbone and a soft tip. The other one is a MF so the bend will extend past the tip into the backbone a little.
