Abu Garcia Tormentor Travel spinning rod 9'0" 30-70 g
Description
The Abu Garcia Tormentor rod series consists of a range of spinning rods for light to medium-heavy fishing. The rods feature a 24-ton blank with a relatively deep action, making them long casting and comfortable to fight fish with. With a deeper action, the risk of losing a hooked fish is reduced as the blank handles head shakes and runs in a calm and secure manner. Choose between 2-piece or 4-piece models depending on how short of a transport length you prefer.

Rod action
Are you a beginner looking for a new rod? Check out the rods in the Medium and Medium-Fast categories. These rods bend a bit more than the so-called 'fast' rods, which simplifies both casting and fighting ability if a fish bites.
More about rod actions Action is a term for how the blank bends when pressure is applied to the tip and is described in English as follows:
Extra Fast (Ultra Fast): means the tip bends much more easily than the rest of the blank, which is relatively stiff.
Fast: bends just over a third of the blank.
Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank.
Medium (Moderate): bends about 3/4 of the blank.
Slow: describes a parabolic bend of almost the entire blank.
Common simplified Swedish terms to describe action are tip-, half-, and full-action.
Different actions suit different fishing. 'Extra Fast' and 'Fast' provide more feel to the lure and faster hooksets, but the stiff blank reduces fighting ability and doesn’t offer the same 'slingshot effect' on casts as 'Medium' and 'Slow' actions.
Medium - Fast
Handle type
Refers to the material the rod’s handle is made of. Cork and EVA (foam) are the most common types.
