fl_bass Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Since I just bought a veritas, I would say the veritas Quote
kylek Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 another vote for the Veritas. I have 3 now and love them. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 At the present moment it would have to be my Powell Max 703C. Although the Loomis IMX rods are great as well. Quote
Go Fish Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks, Would love a G.L rod wish they made one with a lower price point for people like me who have a hard time dropping $200+ for a rod. Quote
BasskingKeith Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 lol since I would like a St.Croix Mojo Bass, I would say that. Never used a Veritas, however I have a 6'9 MH Vendetta. It's great. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I have a 6'9" MH Veritas and love it. My most versatile rod. Never used the Mojo, but I have 5 Veritas rods now so I must like them (quite a step up from my old BPS Bionic Blades). The best part is the split grip. Now that I'm used to it and understand how it works as a fulcrum my casting has greatly improved. So, whatever you get, make sure it has a split grip. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 25, 2013 Super User Posted February 25, 2013 I have a Veritas 7' - Very good rod one of my favorites. However, I'd suggest a Compre over the Veritas, I have a H/F version of the latest Compre and I like it better (feel and has better sensitivity for me). I can't comment on the Mojo Bass - if you can spend a bit more I'd get an AVID if you want a St. Croix. Quote

BenBassmaster Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I just order a Revo S and I'm pairing it up with a Veritas. Quote
TNBassin' Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I really llke my MH Veritas. Great feel and sensitivity for the price. Quote
Jig Meister Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Need a new 7 foot medium heavy, cant decide between veritas or a mojo bass. Any other suggestions are appreciated too! The Mojo is going to be a good rod, but you really need to handle them. The Veritas is going to be stiffer action for action with any St. Croix rod. I have felt the Mojo's but never fished them, I have fished all of Abu's rods except the VIllian and the new Volatile line, and they all run pretty stiff. Personally you can't go wrong with either, but I would trust the Veritas only because it is what I know. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted February 26, 2013 Super User Posted February 26, 2013 in that range a veritas.few more and a facon bucoo under 4 oz. Quote
Greenstealth Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 In that price range, carbonlite. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 26, 2013 Super User Posted February 26, 2013 7' MH/F St Croix.........I have two, an Avid and LTB, one that I have and not yet used, a Rage, and fished a few others like the Triumph, Mojo, and Premier. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted February 26, 2013 Super User Posted February 26, 2013 I have a 6'6'' MH Fenwick Eagle GT that I bought on clearance at sportsmans warehouse for I think $35. I use it to fish small ponds and lakes from shore. It is by far the best fishing sub $100 rod I have ever used, I have a Veritas, Vengence, F&S Tech Spec, and a Carrot Stix Wild and would choose the Eagle GT over each of them. Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 26, 2013 Super User Posted February 26, 2013 Reding this brings up the question what is a medium heavy bass rod? There isn't a standard to measure rod ratings and every rod maker uses the ratings differently, even between models of the same manufacturers . Here are the basics; 2 power = medium-light 3 power = medium 4 power = medium-heavy 5 power = heavy 6 power = extra heavy 7 power = XX heavy How rods bend are rated ; slow or moderate for half parabolic bend or 1/2 the rods bends, fast for 1/3 of the upper rod bend, very fast for 1/4 of the upper rod bends before the lower half starts to bend. All this is very subjective and dependent on the rod materials and rod guide placement. Custom rod makers offer rods in 1/2 power increments to finely tune the rod to the user's specifications.

Blues19 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Im about to get a Veritas. I have a Bass Pro Extreme from about 8 years ago thats been great for me. Quote
craww Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Carbonlite 7'MH or sub $100, fenwick HMG. Quote
buttrick Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I hear lots of good things about dobyns rods (especially when you look up jig fishing) - anyone care to agree or disagree the veritas look top notch - Im going to have to see for myself Quote
Go Fish Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for all the suggestions. Went with a Veritas, cant wait to try it out, looks great on my pro qualifier. _ 1 Quote
