Yep because only ****** bags use these rods, carrot stix, and wright and mcgill's. Great contribution and outstanding post, I am forever in your debt.

Since I fish some with a buddyand going in his boat some,I am always grabbing a hand full of Veristas and placing them in his boat. I have replaced 2 Micro Eyes that have failed by the Inserts coming out of them. Most stores do not have these in stock and they're sometimes hard to find. I have 8 of them now and love them. I can't put them down. I do feel that the MH is sometimes just a M and I have gone to the HEAVY for A rigging.Best $99 Rod on the planetIMHO and yes the rod holder is a Pain and yes the Lure Holder wire Needs adjusting,But I'll live with it>

This was going to help my questions how?

It wasn't. Just a "D.B" comment.

Check your pm's. Found you an amazing deal on a vendetta.

Now what makes it worse, is I found the Vendettas new for 48 shipped now. Arggg

Where I want one

Does anyone remember a year ago when they had a bad reputation for breaking?

LOL

I have the 6'9" MH micro guide rod. I have only had it a few weeks and I love it!!! I mainly use it for soft plastics but it does pretty well with shallow cranks and spinnerbaits for me. I will be buying more of these rods!!!!!

Any problem with a leader getting hung up with the micro guides?

The 48 dollar Vendetta is the MH or H 7'3"-7'6" models at Academy Sports

Yep

Any problem with a leader getting hung up with the micro guides?

I use mine with 14lb mono so I have no clue. The guides are pretty darn small though. I don't think you can go wrong with this rod. As soon as I can afford to, I will be adding more of these to my lineup.

Vendetta's are also in ebay for 49.99 with free shipping. There is also a Vendetta 2 coming out

Hey, FWIW

I don't own a Veritas, however I do own Abu rods, and my Fav right now is my Vendetta's.

I feel like for what I paid, it has awesome backbone and great sensitivity.

I am waiting to buy any new Abu rods until the Vendetta 2 drops this fall to see if it is worth upgrading to the Veritas, or even the Villain.

I know it shouldn't matter but I don't like the white rod color lol.

That black/white combo looks down right sexy. I was thinking a winch reel with those black and white reel grips lol.
