Took my new Abu garcia Veritas out yesterday for the first time. it's a 6'9" MH. I was a little nervous because I had read some bad reviews about the tips snapping on small fish but after using this rod I have no worries! I was able to cast weightless flukes and heavier lures with absolutely no issues and amazing accuracy even with the light lures. I caught a 4 pounder and the rod responded really well. Also caught a 3 pounder that instantly swam into the thickest weeds possible and I was able to haul him out with ease, and didn't feel scared that the rod was going to snap or anything. Also very sensitive, I was bringing a fluke through really thick grass and the bass were just inhaling it and sitting there but I had no trouble feeling when a fish hit compared to getting hung up in the grass. With my old rod which was a cheapo I missed alot of fish because I wouldn't be able to tell if it was a fish or not.

These rods are great, I'm definitely buying more when I get the cash!

Completely agree, the Veritas is an excellent rod. As for the reviews of snapped tips, I would say 99% of the time it's owner mishandling that leads to this. I too will be buying a few more as time goes on.

I have the 7' mh and I love mine. I will probably get more too in the future when the funds are allowing.

I agree I have the 7'6"MH I use for jig fishing iv pulled in fish and tree branches at times I miss use the heck outa mine its been slammed in the car door at the bottom its crushed a little still works fine. Iv had it hanging off the front or back of the canoe and been fighting a fish on another rod and had it go tip first into the bank or trees the eyes get a little bent and I mean just a little bent nothing major I just bend it back and fish on. Im very abusive on my gear and the rods held up for 2 seasons so far I plan on changing over to all veritas rods with maybe a villan or two thrown in.

I've not tried the Veritas micro guides yet, but have a Veritas casting and spinning rods. Love them. Great rods for the money!
