Abu Garcia Veritas

[Dawson]

I just picked up an Abu Garcia Veritas 7'6" MH rod, and man so far I am impressed! Super super light and sensitive.. and I like the microguides. If it holds up, this may be my new favorite... and for 100 bucks, can't beat it!

[NorcalBassin]

Glad you love the new rod... didn't realize that the microguides came in that length. I have been pleased with the 6'9" ML spinning rod and may end up picking up a MH casting rod as well.

Everytime I am in a fishing store I pick one up and like them more and more. I

am going to have to try one out. I have been wondering about the micro guides too.

[Hi Salenity]

I also have the 7'6'' (no micros). It's very sensitive!

[tomustang]

I'm curious, do the veritas have the same action as the vendettas fast action, it's a bit underrated and feel more like a extra fast

[Sherlock 60]

I bought three Veritas rods at the Indy Boat Show this winter for $55 each...everybody seemed to have them on sale.

I've only been able to use them twice so far, but they are a huge upgrade from the BPS Bionic Blade rods I've used for years. Thinking about getting the Veritas Winch rods down the road to replace my BPS Crankin' Sticks.

I love them as well, I also have two mojos that I bought this year, going to see how they fare against each other.

i have a 6'6" med casting rod that i love but ever since i got my dobyns it has taken a back seat

That's not even a fair fight

That's not even a fair fight

I'm not even a fan of the Veritas and I have to agree with this. The Mojos, to me, are tip heavy and generally not well-balanced rods. I've owned a couple and handled a bunch, but they just don't feel (or perform) as well as they look. I think they're out-classed by rods costing $20-$30 less, like the Vendetta.

[BigMoneyGrip]

I agree with Stasher. I have a Mojo and a Veritas. The Mojo doesn't come close. Don't get me wrong, I like my Mojo, but the Veritas feels a good bit lighter and better balanced.

i just bought a 7ft med and 7'6 MH veritas and i fell in love instantly! awesome rods!! gotta love the micro guides

[Zoff]

I broke my Verdict yesterday. Picked up a 7-6 MH Veritas today. Will put it in the water Friday. I have been real happy with my Verdicts and Vendettas. Veritas is in the middle of these. We'll see.

[ChrisAW]

I like my Veritas, but I don't care for the micro guides they used for the new ones. The first one or two guides are raised off the blank, and aren't reinforced. They look like tiny spinning rod guides, and they didn't need to do this IMO. I fear that I would end up breaking one of those guides off. Buuuut.. I may take the chance, because they do feel very nice.

I agree 100%

Anybody have any idea what the turnaround time is for them to replace a rod?

[bwell]

Took me about a week in a half...

about two to three weeks for me in florida

Cool! Not bad.

I have a 6'6" casting rod. Love the light feel in med hvy. But the decals rub off with my fingernail. Its the only split grip rod ive found comfortable.

[Diggy]

I love mine. I make sure to keep it squeaky clean. The foam on the handle is a bit easy to damage for some reason. I got a treble caught in the foam on accident and felt worse than when Rocky watched Apollo die after that Ivan Drago beating. I will buy another one day

[0119]

True about the foam. Mine has gotten burnished from just laying across the benches of the jonboat. Sort of a shined spot that got flatter. My buddy uses one in spinning model. He has a hard time keeping the reelseats nut tight and once his reel fell off the rod. He religiously checks and tightens it between every few casts.

he can probably use teflon tape on the threads

[Scorcher214]

I have two, one in 6'6MH spinning and one in a 7'MH casting. love em. Being a shore angler they get put through a lot of abuse, sticking them into branches and into the dirt a lot. Guides dont't get bent or broken and no rod snapping. I also have closed the guides in the door near the front of the door, where plastic comes together and the plastic actually has a dent in it from the guides. Guides were fine. =)

A little electrical tape over the feet of the reel usually fixes this problem.
