I had a tournament Dec 1st on Potomac river maryland/DC and my villain snapped at the 2nd guide throwing a 5/8th oz Jig & Pig. This couldnt have happened at a worse time, i ended up ranking 7th using all Abu Garcia gear but my snapped rod had me handicapped for the entire tournament. These rods are very light, the action of these rods need slight more improvement & somehow need to increase the durability without sacrificing rod action. I wish Abu focused more on balance & proper tip action but they are still great rods made with some of the best components. I brought this fish in yesterday on the medium action rod with Revo MGX with no problems. The stiffness of these rods give better hooksets on big fish, but imo it needs more flex for further casts and better presentation
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best rod i have ever owned in my life! I purchased the 7'1" MH model and it is my all purpose "God Rod." This rod is Ultra sensitive with its exposed reel seat, match that with the EVA handle and it provides the Ultimate in sensitivity and comfort. It is also very strong and has great backbone. Micro guides for precision casts. Sleek black design looks very cool as well.
I matched this with the REVO STX and couldnt be happier! Thank You Abu Garcia!

Great rod. Used prob 4 times within 2 months before ut randomly broke in half upon casting. Paired with my revo mgx hispeed can do alot. Imo didnt feel good for deep diving cranks but maybe just me. Could of sent to abu but had instore warranty for direct replace. If break randomly again same way will prob go diff rod company. I understand possible defects from factory or possible bad ship/handling at store could of worn rod but will see how 2nd one holds up. Good luck to all.

6 lbs 10 oz
I bought this rod and I was so anxious to try it out I went and did some night fishing at ky lake. Let me tell you. This is buy far the most sensitive rod I have ever fished with. I have fished with all the Abu Garcia rods and don't get me wrong they are all good. But this one is great. It is so sensitive it make me think that I have been missing so many fish all these years just not being able to feel them. Last night every fish that touched my worm also got to touch my hands. I never missed a fish. I also found out the strength of this rod first hand. I landed a 6 lb 10 oz largemouth by swinging him on the boat. If I knew it was that big I would have lipped him. But needless to say this is te beat rod ever so go and buy one and tell a story like mine. You won't be disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

That looks like a pretty sweet rod and that is a very nice catch. I've fished with the veritos for a while now and I love it. Thinking about this one now. O and by the way I have that same shirt lol good luck.
