Veritas 2.0

[Robert Riley]

So what's new about this Veritas 2.0? I'm looking at the winches and I'm curious what the difference is, can any of you abu fans give me some info?

[JeziHogg]

Not an Abu fan, but one main difference is the spiral wrapped carbon the blanks are made out of. Also I think they have a "clicking"  locking nut.

Buy one. Good rod for $99. U get a free hoodie from abu too if u send in a rebate.

I'll get it for $45, but no hoodie. I placed the order within 20 minutes of getting paid haha. If it's not spent on tuition or "soda pop" it's spent on fishing stuff, such is life.

Help a brother out!

that's crazy!

That is a heck of a deal for a gen 2! I haven't held one yet, but I'm hoping the locking nut is a little more refined (rounded off) than the gen 1... pretty much my only complaint about that rod.

Collegiate discount!

Got the 7 winch and 7 3 mh.

Winch only taken it out 3 times and the rod has been awesome so far. I've never had a CB rod before but it loads up very well and has plenty of backbone to haul em in. I've been throwing lipless cranks and have caught over 25 bass ranging from 1 to 3lbers. Casts really well, has a great feel. Plus the free hoodie is nice

7 3 mh. It's thicker at above the reel seat than my 7 0 Veritas. Both mh. This one is a stout rod no doubt. I was a little concerned that the sensitivity wouldn't be as good but it's still there. Using it as a dedicated jig rod. Didn't get hit on the jig so threw trig stick worm. The sensitivity was good. A little different than the old one. I've only used it twice so far with not many bites so tough to say. The one I did hook into was a nice 3 lber and the set was solid. Feels a tad stiffer than my old 7 0.

[Hattrick7]

Forgot to mention of all the ones I hooked up with on the winch only one came unbuttoned and that one was a like a 10" dink which I eventually caught. Very limited time with it but so far so good.

[Robert Riley]

I didn't like the sensitivity, but that's compared to my dobyns champion extreme haha. I'm not super worried about bottom sensitivity with my cranking rod.

Wooo! Murray State! As a 2009 alumni I am extremely proud to see them doing so well with the bass team.

[Blues19]

Those Collegiate Discounts rocked! Wish I was still in college so I could get that discount.  Murray State has had some darn good fisherman. I'm still a bit shocked we beat them at Kentucky Lake.  And A Veritas 2 for $45 is awesome. I wish I could get that!

You're probably coming out ahead with paying more for tackle than paying tuition. Unless you were scholarship or you're buying an unbelievable amount of tackle.
