pbizzle Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Well after having trouble with my Daiwa Exceler and my Micro Guide Veritas 2.0 I took them back. I exchanged the Daiwa for a 7.1:1 Shimano Citica for $80 at Academy. I took the Veritas back to Gander expecting to exchange for the same model in standard guides. They were all sold out though, so after looking around I decided to exchange it for a 7'3" H *** Black. Now instead of a good all purpose set up, I've got an AWESOME pitching and deep jig set up! Not sure what line I should spool it on though. Tell me what you guys think! Quote
Super User FishTank Posted May 24, 2015 Super User Posted May 24, 2015 I can't speak for the *** but I have the Citica and it is a nice reel for the money. I think you have a nice set up that you can enjoy for years. Quote

I took it out Friday and caught a few nice fish on it, and it handled them really well. Quote

When I use it, it gets abused. I have yet to have an issue with it. Quote
lectricbassman Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I just picked up a veritas micro guide on friday. What kind of issues were you having? Quote
Cgrinder Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Nice. You should frog with that bad boy as well. Quote
fisherrw Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 The citica is defiantly better than a daiwa rods could go either way Quote
pbizzle Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 I just picked up a veritas micro guide on friday. What kind of issues were you having?I and a few of my friends, have had a lot of problems with the guides. The first thing that happened to my rod was that the second insert from the bottom fell out. I fixed it on the water with some super glue, but it made me worried. Then I had two more guides twist to the right after I caught a 3 pounder on it. I loved the blank, but hated the guides. I don't want to scare you away from it, but I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the standard guide version. Quote
