Anybody have some reviews on these rods? I see good reviews on Tackle Warehouse, just thought I'd ask for some more opinions.  

I've got the 7'6" MH winch. It's a good rod, use it for DT10s, 6/8XDs, etc. I also have a Dobyns D806, which is the bomb, so I'd probably recommend a champion over the abu, but there is a bit of a cost difference. 

But for $100, the winch is a good rod. Not the most sensitive, but has a good bend and that's what is most important for cranking IMO.

I'm not looking to spend Dobyns type money. I'd love to try them some day thought! 

The really attractive thing about these is the positive reviews and the price. 

and if anyone could comment on the durability i would appreciate it. I've heard the regular veritas rods are very easily broken. 

Not trying to sell you a Dobyns, but they do have a crankbait rod in their Fury line up, just ordered a 705cb. 

I've had my winch for about a year and had no issue with it breaking. I did break my heavy veritas frog rod (not the designated frog rod) after 2 fish, and they replaced it promptly.

Personally, I'd take the Ike delay series over the Veritas. Much better blank in my opinion, and only $30 more. 

 

What are you looking to throw? 

I just ordered a Dobyns Fury 705CB this offseason too. Looking forward to giving it a try. If you sign up for American legacy fishing newsletter you will get $25 off a purchase so the Fury can be had for less than $100. And look at the reviews the Fury gets.

Would the 705CB be okay for shallow cranks and square bills? As well as deeper cranks. I always thought a medium moderate was better for the shallow stuff. 

It says the 705 is for lipless cranks. I don't think it would be great for deep cranks. But don't take my word read the reviews on TW.
