I was a little uneasy about buying a veritas rod due to alot of the poor reviews I've seen on here and on tackle warehouse referring to random rod breakages. I got one, the flipping stick and I love it and it has put in some serious work in some serious slop. So I buy another one, the 7' winch model. I took it fishing last week and used it ripping shallow cranks through hydrilla. I went out today and with my first cast (using the this rod and a KVD 1.5,) the rod broke on the cast. The breakage was about 4 inches from the tip. I'm hoping that Abu had a bad run of rods or something because its hard to get past how light and sensitive these rods are and the price is a bonus. My flipping stick performs like a 275.00 rod. I'm scared to buy another one but I would still recommend it. Disappointed is the best word. I'm still an Abu guy, I just hope that this is more of an isolated incident.

The Winch Rod
Posted December 20, 2012
I was so pleased with my two Veritas Spinning Rods that I purchased a 7 ft. Medium Winch Rod, and it is a pleasure to use it when cranking for largemouth bass. It is so light weight I can cast it repeatedly thorough the day,and its action is so responsive that it does not rip hooks from the fish’s mouths.

I have had an awesome experience with my veritas spinning rod had it for 2 years without any problems however i bought a baitcast version that I've only had it for about 10 months and the tip guide insert fell out during a tournament. I've rigged it to where i can still use it but id rather just get it replaced soon any help would be great
I would recommend this to a friend!

I now have 2 of these rods and am looking to get a cast one as well.
I have a 2-4 kg 7" that I use for soft plastics chasing flat head and whiting matched with an Orra S20 with 6lb Fins that I landed a 8kg Stingray with the other day so that tells you something about this rod.
My other one is a 5-9kg with an Orra S40 that I have caught 1m Barra and 7kg Snapper on no worries.
Highly Recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This rod is a steel!! I own the 7'6 MH casting rod and it is AMAZING. The sensitivity is outstanding, and this rod is very durable. I would recommend this rod to anyone.The particular action I have has a ton a backbone and a stiff tip. Buying my second one.
