Gotta give us more credit than that lol.

Got mine today as well. 37 days to my door. Its kinda crazy, I was hoping for the 4/0 Magworm hooks and thats what I got!!

I have that combo in the 7' MH. I acutally love it honestly. The drag is vey soild on the reel. The drag star clicks with each movement. Reel feels very soild and I havent noticed any of the flex people talk about when setting the hook. Retreival is very smooth too. I have the Pro Qualifier and its just as smooth. Its one of the easiest reels that I have ever set up honestly. I am running 15 pound fluoro with a mono backing and casting is no problem. I've had mine for about 6 months now. Biggest fish was a 3.5 pound hybrid bass that I had to crank out of the weeds. I broke my T-rig set up last week so I have started using this for soft plastics. 4" tubes and 7.5" weightless worms I had to trouble throwing them either. The rod is a good rod. Not a high dollar ro by any means, but stout. Mine has just enough bounce in the tip to thow 5" wacky rigged Senkos with ease. The rod does not have a hook keeper on it which kinda sucks. I like the split grip too. I dont care weather I have foam or cork so the foam grip is cool with me. For 60 buck I'd grab ahold and not look back. This combo was originally 139 bucks from Bass Pro last year.

Crikey thats a fish

Only one thing could come from Lawrence Kansas in an envelope like this!!!!! I've only been paying on these for an entire year. Section #11 seats #16 and #17.........ROW TWO BABY!!!!!

My 5 year old holds more PB's on wiper, striper and walleye by "sleeping at the reel" than I do. I'm starting to think the pros are full of it on all these techniques. I think the key to big fish is having your dad cast the pole in, swat at butter flies and ramble on about what Dora or the Power Rangers next voyage will be!

That black/white combo looks down right sexy. I was thinking a winch reel with those black and white reel grips lol.

Id fish that mother humper all day everyday till I caught it again. If I was even a bit certain a state record was holding up in the pond, I'd go Billy the Kid regulator on it! Just use a Mustard Hook. Land her and its 20k

I think what people are missing is the position Coach Paterno had. I say Coach for a reason. Reguardless of PA law about reporting felonies, a coach is one held to higher standards. PSU is throwing him under the buss and trying to take the blame off of themselves. "Coach Paterno should have done more" etc is their gripe. The whole d**n university is to blame. Coach should have done more. By taking his statue and wins away, all PSU is saying is Coach Paterno is the guilty one. Not sandusky or the university. No one trolls around a college for boys and doesn't get noticed. Everyone knew including the administration. My question is how long and what else got covered up. No amount of penility will make this go away or lie down. As much as I hate to say it, a college is an institutation of higher learning. Punish the program not the students. I say 10 year explusion of the football program.

Been there done that even got the crappy T-shirt to boot! I say this only because I was in your shoes September of 2010. It's now August of 2012 and I sir am a better man than I was then. I had one adopted son and 4 foster kids, brand new house, cars etc. All taken away. It sucks like nothing in this world. The hurt can't be explained at all. Eventually you will get over it. But no matter what anybody says right now you will think we are full of ****. Best advice I can give you, stay off the booze, stay off the drugs and do not bash or talk crap about your ex in front of your son. 20 years from now your son will look back and know who the bad person was and you won't have to explain why you treated his mom like crap back when.

The 48 dollar Vendetta is the MH or H 7'3"-7'6" models at Academy Sports

Any problem with a leader getting hung up with the micro guides?

This was going to help my questions how?

Thank you

Now what makes it worse, is I found the Vendettas new for 48 shipped now. Arggg

How thick is the backbone on the Vendetta compared to the Veritas?

So the medium has is pretty loose? I was hoping for that as I wanted it to throw small jigs and plastics

Thanks alot guys. What dont you like about the reel seat?

Isn't the idea of an actual drop shot weight to break off if you get hung up and not loose the whole rig?

What size lure are you using and what's the rod specs

Hey all. I posted this same questionnaire on the Diesel rod and got some good results so I wanted to try this rod too. To all the Abu Garcia Veritas owners I have a few questions. Overall how well do you enjoy your rods? I'm really interested in the 7' Medium casting rod. Any issues with braid or fluoro tearing up the eyelets? Honestly if you had another 90 bucks and needed another rod, would you get another? What about the micro guides. Are they worth buying? How is the backbone on this rod? Any issues with breakage when ripping a bass out of cover? Thanks in advance.

I mainly use poppers (next to Jigs my favorite go to bait) in the early AM and late evening. I know they are an all day bait, but I have had the best of luck using them at those times.

I think if you took a poll here, 50/50 would say they use a leader as compared to those who dont. Fluoro is more used as a leader than mono, but guys do use it. For the money, I would say splurge and get some good Fluoro if you are going to use it. Your only using 6-8 feet for a leader so a 200 yard spool will last a lonnnnnnnnng time

Thanks! I will run a rage craw with my 1/4 oz jigs, but I just wondered as it advertises that you can throw it. The tons of backbone I love. Thanks again

I like it for top water Poppers. I like to let my bait sit for a few seconds and it doesnt sink near as bad as Fluoro
