Hawkeye21 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Just saw that Abu Garcia is having a summer sale on their website. A good amount are already out of stock but still some good stuff there. https://www.abugarcia.com/ Hear are two that I thought were great. I ordered two rods right away. Revo SX for $59.99 Veritas 2.0 $32.00 5 Quote
RichF Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I'm not a huge fan of Abu Garcia, but I ordered a Premier last night. If the others had the faster retrieves on sale, I'd probably get a couple more. Quote
riverbasser Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Wasn't in time to get what I needed. Thanks for sharing though Quote

I have an extra spinning reel without a pole so was able to get a 7 foot MHF Veritas and I needed to get a new pole for frogs and other heavy gear so I got the 7'6" MHF Veritas. After tax it only cost $68!!! That's still cheaper than what Cabelas is selling them for and they have them marked down to $69.99 which is still a good deal. 1 Quote
HeavyTwenty Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Wish I could fit a 7'6" in my vehicle. 7'3" was already sold out Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered a Revo STX HSL for $79.99! Definitely can't beat that! 1 Quote
The Kangler Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered a Revo Premier and a Winch for $155! Gotta love it. 1 Quote

OperationEagle Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Wow...saw that price increase...got a premier for $115 just in time. Needed another reel that can handle a wide range of bait weights and I am hoping this will fit the bill. 1 Quote

Ive been using my 1st gen Veritas 7' MHF forever as a frog rod.VERY capable rod if anything like the OG. Quote
KDW96 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I had 2 winchs in the cart. Came back 2hrs later, they went from 39.99 to 55.99. Needless to say i ,i aint playin that game. Quote
The Kangler Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 The bait monkey got me after I bought the Premier and Winch. An hour later I went back and bought another Premier 1 Quote
Hawkeye21 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 I knew everything was going to go very fast. As soon as I fought out about the sale I bought the rods quickly. After that I posted it on here. Looked a bit later and the rods were out of stock already and some prices had gone up. Gotta act quick on deals like that. Quote
standman Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Hmmm... ordered 2 Veritas rods (spinning and casting) and the Revo S reel (before the price increase). They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Abu sent 2 shipments - 1 is listed at 1.2 lbs, but the second one is 7.2 lbs. What the heck did they stuff in that second box? I guess I'll find out tomorrow ?. Quote

The one that is 7.2lbs is the rods most likely. Those shipping tubes are heavy. Quote
Hawkeye21 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Posted May 4, 2017 My two rods should be at the door today. Quote

I should've read all the posts...they raised prices... I'm still considering getting a premier in 7:1 for $160... Quote
JaxBasser Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Got my 7'6 MHF veritas today. Still a broomstick like my gen 1 veritas was but that's fine for what I'll be using it for. Quote

I am now wondering how the Premier will compare with the STX which was even cheaper. I have a few Lew's Tournament Pro's (that I love) which I was thinking the STX would be too similar to...as I was gunning for something different. We will see! Quote

Was this an error on the website that they honored? I just can't see selling a premier for 114.99. Thats a heck of a deal even for an STX. I've never used a premier, but i do have the MGX which has the centrifugal brakes like the premier... I think the only difference is the spool capacity and weight but they are pretty dang close.
