Kevin22 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Wondering if anyone here has held these two rods in the 7' Medium Fast. I fish veritas rods mostly, but looking for something with a little more tip flex to it for working senkos and smaller baits. Even the Medium veritas rods are broom sticks, which is not what I want. I can't find a blackout locally so I am relying on you guys to help me out! Quote
PitchinJigz Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 The Blackouts are on the lighter side of their ratings IMO. Quote
Nathan Burton Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I have a Veritas and a blackout. The blackout is much softer and has much more flex. I also feel it's a little more sensitive. Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Abu Garcia's rods in general are stiffer and faster than there ratings. Try abu's medium-lite rod, it's closer to a normal medium power rod. Quote

Sounds like what I need then! 11 hours ago, PitchinJigz said: The Blackouts are on the lighter side of their ratings IMO. Thats okay too! I need something with a good tip for "working" baits. I have enough "meat" rods for around cover. Quote
