Shimano Vengeance AX Boat

The Vengeance Boat offers affordability within reach of almost all anglers’ budgets. The powerful composite blank offers great functionality and has a moderate parabolic fighting action that is great fun to play fish on, whilst retaining the lifting power to overcome the largest bottom dwelling fish.

If you are looking to buy your own boat rod for saltwater boat fishing, but don’t want to spend too much money, the Vengeance Boat offers some of Shimano’s best value. Available in 3 models, the versatile Vengeance range covers most deep and shallow boat fishing situations with leads or lures weighing up to 300g (10oz) Heavy model, or a massive 500g (17oz) Extra Heavy model. Owning a Vengeance Boat means that you never have to use inferior tackle provided by charter boat skippers again.


Whilst most anglers think of composite rods as inferior to a carbon construction, when it comes to boat rods the rules can change. Due to the tough situations, large fish and the heavy weights used, a good quality composite construction like the Vengeance Boat can often be superior to low grade carbon, which may fail under pressure. The Vengeance Boat has a long history of reliability and for the remarkably low price you will certainly struggle to find anything to match it. Fitted with Shimano Hardlite guides that are suitable for mono and braid line, an EVA handle and a versatile DPS reel seat, the Vengeance Boat is a fantastic range for the budget conscious boat angler.
