New rod search
In the market for a new rod. First let me say I do not like cork handles. Second, my current favorite rod is my 7'-2" shimano cumara. Third, i fish braid.
I've felt the Duckett ghost 7' med. And like the feel of it. Saw the ABU verosity online but haven't found one on the shelf to feel. Any insight to either of these rods? |
I have a Verocity, I'm not sure that I don't like the Veritas better. My current favorite is a St. Croix legend Bass.
|
How is the verocity and veritas weight wise?
|
I have a ducket ghost rod paired paired with the team lewd reel and love it. Well balanced rod and a great price point
|
Will be putting a Lews TP on whatever I get. That's all I use
|
I love my duckett

I have 4 Duckett's and they all have Lew's Tourney Pro's on them (Except for the spinning rod) I love them. They are all ghosts. I have a 7' Medium that is just as nice as it's $150 Shimano counterpart.
|
Thanks for the info. I'm leaning toward the ghost

DO NOT GET THE GHOST! Braid will eat the eyes up! I fish with flouro and mono and that even ate the eyes up. Look at Falcon Bucoo, by far my favorite rod between $100-120. Light, sensitive, great eyes, good reel seat, and I've slammed mine against the trolling motor a few times without harm. |

My Veritas is 6'6" and my Veracity is 7'3", so weight feels similar as you hold them. If you're looking for extremely light weight, I'm not sure either one of them is the right choice.

I looked on line at the bucoo micro. Looks and sounds legit. Hopefully LC Tackle has one I can feel.

I have been using Waterloo rods about 8 or 9 years now and I'm still using them !
Speaks for itself |
W, which ones you use?
|
Jpeff been saying that but I've got a ghost that I've caught bull reds Jacks a Ling and tons of trout and slots all on braid and never had issue at all with the guides
|
Maybe the older ghosts used different eyes?
|
Not sure. I use my ghost for reds and big topwaters like super spooks.
I drop the hammer on fish with that rod. Last time he said that I inspected the crap out of the guides and I didn't see any wearing. I've had that rod about 4 years. |
I'm going to compare the ghost, bucoo and the waterloo to see what feels best in my hands.
