I had a carrot mh, 2 in fact, one lost buttcap within a day and the other had a spiral crack around the tip going down the rod. I loved the rod but the durability issues are ugh, Id still try it again just because I like the color, lol. Only rod Ive ever had a problem with, has to be manufacturing probs because I always raise an eye to people breaking rods. I caught less than 5 bass on it probably, missed 2 snakes on it..
I have a mh veritas also, micro guide version, its stiff like people said, more to heavy side. Its my favorite rod
I have a bps mh micro carbonlite which I used to frog fish, bottom contact fish, and I have used it for flukes, it may work for you. I have used it exclusively the past month as my frog rod, I dont fish for bass when Im in an area I can catch snakes, bass happen on accident for me and it handles them too. A few 2-3lb fish, no monsters.
It handled these and many others with my drag locked down all the way, so Im sure a bass wouldnt be a prob
