Has Abu Garcia resolved their issues with the Veritas? I bought one last year and it was great, bought another one this spring have yet to use it. Anyway, I was looking at them all at bass pro and all of the guides looked good, all of them looked straight.  I was curious if anyone has tried a more recently purchased veritas to see if they had any of the issues that had plauged them in the past.  I wasnt worried about getting either Veritas, mostly because I have heard great things about Abu's fantastic customer service.  I have 2 more rods to buy and am considering another Veritas or 2...

I couldn't tell you if that is the case but it is possible.  If they did fix their quality issues, at 79.99 that would be a great value.  Personally I wouldn't hesitate to get another Veritas.

I wasnt going to hesitate to get my second when they were still $99. If they do have their breakage issues resolved, I will probably get at least 1 if not 2 more now that they are $80.

Yeah same here and the price at 79.99 makes it even harder to resist. 

Just bought a veritas and a pro qualifier for my new set-up.  The pq was on sale for 69.99 so I had to try it out, im waiting on string to come in so I can use it.

I have my Veritas paired with a PQ too...pretty good combo!

I have several that I bought last season, no issues. Look good, work fine, nice $100 rods.... Ever better at $80.

No issues with mine. I love them for the price

Ive read of breakage issues the last several months but not as many in the past.

I've never had any issues with my any of my Veritas that I own.

Checked them out at the classic sale during the rod trade in. Almost all the store had left had misaligned or twisted guides. Very disappointing. I have three Veritas two casting one spinning. Haven't had any breaking issues.

I picked one a few weeks ago.  Even in MH, it is a very, very, very stiff rod.  I can't cast a 1/2oz jig on it with any accuracy because the tip won't load up.  It pitches very well but I may never be able to cast anything on it. 

Just got a veritas last year, and for the price I think it's a great rod. Haven't had any issues with mine yet
