I'm looking to convert most of my rods to Abu's after great experiences with the Vendetta's.

I want to find the perfect spinning rod to use for tubes and wacky rigs. I'm not sure if a M or a MH is appropriate, and considering the Veritas are slightly more powerful than their ratings (from what I've heard), I'm thinking the Medium action rods are best for this.

Model Lgth Line Power/Action Lure

VRS66-5 6' 6" 6 to 12 M XF 1/8 to 1/2

VRS66-6 6' 6" 8 to 14 MH F 1/4 to 3/4

VRS70-5 7' 6 to 12 M F 3/16 to 5/8

Of these three, which is recommended? I'm tall, so longer rods are not an issue for me (my baitcasters start at 7' and go up from there).

For line, I prefer 30# braid and often use a fluoro leader for wacky rigs or tubes.

All opinions and insight appreciated!

Since you seem to like longer rods and are going to be using braid with a leader I'd say the 7' M F should be your best bet in a veritas for the senkos and tubes. 

I would get the 6'6" M XF for myself though.  But that's because I have the 6'8" Mojo "wacky" which is a M XF and really like it for senkos. 

Also, bass over 5 pounds are a rarity for me here in Michigan, but if you catch them over 5 pounds often then maybe the MH rod is a better choice.

If I got bass regularly over 5lbs, I'd be very successful in tournaments around here.

The 7' rod seems to suit my style more than the shorter 6'6" rod, but again the MH vs M is my sticking point. I need opinions on both powers... pros and cons for each... for a tournament fisherman looking to not lose a single fish all year in tournaments.

*Perfect is not a good word for 2  different techniques. But if I had to select one Abu for those, it would be the 7ft MH spinning, or better yet the 7ft M casting.

I agree on casting over spinning

I would get the 6'6" M/XF for tubes and wacky.

I have the 6'8" M/XF version of the powell spinning rod and it was the best decision I made with the help of a member here.

I use it for exactly tubes and wacky worms. 8-)

I like the 7' M/F for wacky and tubes. I like the M/XF for finesse drop shot and shakey head.

I ended up picking up the 6'6" MH/F spinning rod today ($69.99+13% tax!). However, I will likely be returning it and getting a 2010 Kistler Magnesium 6'9" MH/F "Finesse Special" spinning rod, used, for only a few bucks more.

Good choice?
