Duckett rods

[C-Bass2mouth]

True. There's a guy on here that lives in Moss Bluff that fixed a few of my eyes on some rods earlier this year. I think he charged me $6 per rod. I have some more I need replaced now. Waaaaay quicker than sending them to the company. As far as yours snapping idk. Ducketts are quality rods for the price though generally. I use almost exclusively abu rods, but my next flipping rod will be a Duckett. Crazy how light they are.

What abus are you using? I've used the veritas(sp) and I broke every one of them. I had bought one and loved it so I bought another 3-4. I think I only have one left. The rod breaks easy and the eyes are super brittle I found.

I like the ducketts, especially for flipping. I have one for texas rig and one for jig. The one that sucks is the 7' medium, I bought that one for trout fishing and fishing traps/jerkbaits/flukes and lighter baits, so far the durability of that rod SUCKS. The other two I have beat up pretty good, hit them on TM on accident a few times and hit branches and they are still fine, not to mention I fish 20lb test with my jig and have stuck plenty solid bass and stupid choupiques, so those rods perform as they should

I have around 10 veritas casting rods (2.0's, winch series, micro series, and the original models), 2 of the same spinning veritas, and a few of the vendettas also (casting and spinning). The 2.0's are much better than the old models. Still yet, I think I've either broke an eye, or lost an eye insert on just about every one of them at some point. I'm pretty sure that's mostly my fault. I'm not very gentle with rods. But, I've heard of other people having problems with the eyes also. For the price they're great rods though.

Recently got a 7'11 XH 2.0 winch series and for $100 bucks you're not going to find a better big cranking stick. If you're wanting a medium 7' rod for traps, jerkbaits, etc. I'd try to get a rod specifically made for crank baits instead of just a regular 7' med. The tip / backbone will be more suited for that and should load up correctly on casts and hook sets.

Also, I've never completely broken any of my abus. IMO the blanks are great. Just the eyes are poop. I had a 7'3 Heavy Vendetta that a ripped the reel seat out of on a grown man hook set with #65 braid close to the boat. But again, that was my fault. Apparently I didn't have the reel tightened down all the way on the seat, and the slack from that with the big hook set tore the reel out. Also if you use lews casting reels, certain models don't fit the seats well, and you have to make it a habit to check and make sure the reel is tightened down all the way or this will happen. FYI lol
