MichaelJ7 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I know I keep posting questions about the same topic but I have narrowed it down to these two. Which would you choose? They both will cost me $100 Quote
Grantman83 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 A better comparison would be the veracity vs the micro magic as they are both at the $150 price point. Quote

I can buy the veracity for $100 like I said in my origional post. That's y I am comparing it to the ghost Quote
Grantman83 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Ahhhhh I gotcha. my mistake. I hope someone who has used both can chime in for you Quote
deputybc Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Veracity hands down. My personal opinion I do not like Duckett Rods. Had to many problems with them breaking and since I switched to Abu Rods I have broke a few but by my own stupidity. Quote

Had to many problems with them breaking and since I switched to Abu Rods I have broke a few but by my own stupidity. I'm also a big abu fan. Love revos and never broke an abu rod or had any issues. Do you by any chance have an abu rod in the 7' 6"MH? Quote
Fish Murderer 71 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I've broke both, I like the Duckettes better. why? IDK... I guess cause I broke a Abu first...? Quote
MichaelJ7 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 The duckettt scare me for two reasons. 1. The guides on the ghost series. 2. Their under rated on power Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Based on specs I the guides alone the veracity is the way to go. Quote
MichaelJ7 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 I'm starting to lean more towards the veracity. I know that their typically rated heavier than what they are labeled. I'm just hoping that a 7' 6" MH isn't a broom stick and I can still cast 1/4 oz t-rigs, jigs and Carolina rigs without losing sensitivity. I have 7' MH veritas but I don't like the lack of backbone they have for jigs and Carolina rigs Quote
21farms Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 i say veracity all day long. boyd duckett kicks puppies and steps on fish. okay, the first one isn't true but why on earth a 200-pound man has to step on a 2-pound bass to subdue it is beyond me. anyway, with the veracity, you can also send away for an embroidered abu sweatshirt...i have four or five of them and they're very nice and great for fishing in the mornings or in the fall.

Yes I already have a sweatshirt too lol. So I'm not letting that play too big of a factor Quote
SenkoGuru Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 The duckettt scare me for two reasons. 1. The guides on the ghost series. 2. Their under rated on power I would like to know, If they are under rated, then what are they under rated compared to? There is no Rod standard. Maybe the other rods are just over rated? I'm a Duckett guy, through and through but the rods you are trying to compare is not really fair. If you can buy the $160 rod for $100 Then it shouldn't be much of a question. Go with it. Quote

Everyone I know has only used veritas and vendettas. So I didn't know if they were hated on as much as the veritas Quote
