Any chance you live in CT? I have a decent Shimano rod you can either borrow/or keep.

S*** I didn't read the posts went to scroll up saw u got one, congrats. Sorry I was late to the party.

Yea, it was strange. They had only 2 on clearance. I asked the guy if he knew why those two were on clearance and he said they were probably being discontinued(?). I pointed out that they had a slew of other Veritas' on the shelf as new, only different sizes (the 2 on clearance were 6'6" MH. Yea I settled. But it's hardly "settling" when it's a freakin Veritas lol). He then said maybe they were just not stocking that particular rod anymore. I THEN asked if the other sizes would be clearanced, but he didn't know. Oh well. I stop every night almost so I'll see if they do go on sale.

I didn't actually "get" it yet: I had him hold it because I didn't have my $10 off $50 coupon which will actually make this rod, along with something else that costs $5, only cost $40.

I think I scored.

Yeah you scored. I'm glad I read this thread now though because I clicked that Gander Mountain link that was posted and I love the way those house brand rods look. They remind me of the Shimano rods from when they had full cork handles. That's what I like. I have a GM store about less than 2 hours from here that I've never been to. Time for a trip.

Got to take the Veritas out for a spin today. One word: light! I couldn't believe how light it is. I can't say for sure how sensitive it is since it was windy and weedy (constantly ripping through thick weeds doesn't lend itself to touch). It casts a good ways further than the rod of the same length/action as well, so that's another positive. I do like that the reel seat is open so you can feel the rod itself when holding it.
