Just bagged another 7' MH Veritas micro guide rod for $76 shipped from Wal Mart.com of all places. I've ordered rods from them before, and they ship very fast which was surprising, and all rods are sealed in plastic and packaged nicely. Just a heads up for those interested. Oddly the micro guide rods were $70.80 while the regular version was full retail. Nice deal on an amazing rod.
This is the second time I've heard about the walmart prices on a Veritas. Man, I wish I could justify buying another set up right now..
thanks for the heads up...i just ordered a veritas winch rod for $77 shipped.
Arg. To close to Christmas lol
My hand hovered over "submit order" for a minute but I just couldn't pass up that deal. I love these rods. Wish walmart had villains.

Ha ha. I have thought about selling my 7'11" H so I can get a 7'3" MH. The 711 is great for pitching and ripping bass out of cover, but it blows for trying to use it from shore.
I hate being shore bound. When the reservoir here gets low, we take our boat out of dock and don't stick it back in until the water is back up near march. The good thing is that you can walk out to where you wanna be most of the time, and even find some lost lures lol.

I did that at Lake Hefner yesterday. I think a bunch of people beat me to it, but I did get about 50 golf balls.
I got skuned with a big freaking 0 today. Hit the water at 6am and just got home about 3pm. Guys in boats did great though
Got both of my winch rods i ordered on the 9/27 today. They were packaged very well and in great condition when i received them. Can't wait to get back out on the water this weekend to try them out.
Mine comes tomorrow.
my 6´9" MH intended for spinnerbaits arrived yesterday.... i ordered it on sunday night so i think thats pretty fast shipping... unfortunately it arrived at El Paso Tx and I am south of the border, so i will have it in my hands by October 21 when i travel upnorth for the monthly family visit... i ordered the micro guide as well, and a couple Senko bags, all of which had free home shipping =)
Ordered a 7'0" MH micro guide yesterday. Now I need to pick up a new Revo S for it at BPS this weekend
You'll love the revo s.

Hey guys, I found a sporting goods store on ebay, an established well known store, that is selling new Veritas rods for $79.99 plus free shipping. Hard to beat that. I ordered 2 Winch models. They still have some left.
That's a good
That's a good deal but still $3 more than Wally is selling them for SHIPPED. They are $71.89 for the winch rods and about $6 tax (free shipping).On 10/6/2012 at 8:18 AM, Kevinator1 said:Hey guys, I found a sporting goods store on ebay, an established well known store, that is selling new Veritas rods for $79.99 plus free shipping.

Simmons Sporting Goods? If so I have used them for all 4 of my Veritas rods. They ship quick and use PVC pipe to ship them in. I have bought 4 different models and they always have them in stock
Yep. I've bought from them before also.On 10/6/2012 at 9:21 AM, rockchalk06 said:Simmons Sporting Goods? If so I have used them for all 4 of my Veritas rods. They ship quick and use PVC pipe to ship them in. I have bought 4 different models and they always have them in stock
Just got my Veritas in the mail today. Got to love FedEx Saturday deliveries! I can' believe how light it is. I have a Shimano Clarus 6'10" baitcast rod I bought last year (I think it's a '10 model) and this thing is about half what that rod weighs it seems...
It did come in with 2 bent micro guides though, but nothing I couldn't bend back like they should be. Can't wait to get my Revo S this weekend to put on it!
Glad everyone got a good deal on these.
Thanks for the heads up on the Veritas micro casting rod. I went ahead today and bought the 6'9" MH, my favorite length for a casting rod. I have the 6'9" veritas with standard guides, still fairly new, I should sell since I don't need 2 of the same rod. Any interest?
BTW, I also ordered from TW the Quantum EXO casting rod, 6'10" MH, it's on sale for $130.

Keep the rod. Make it a dedicated set up for something you use alot. I am going to get another 7' medium micro guide rod and that will make two. I want a rod for tubes and tubes only.
Make it a rod that you use braid with and a leader. The micro rods suck for using a leader.
I am making it a point to never get rid of another rod again.
Got one! Thanks!
Check your guides. Finally opened mine up today after a bout with a kidney stone to find that one guide had cracked epoxy, while another was severely crooked on the blank.

sorry to hear that. i will check mine for sure as soon as i get it, thanx!
The fourth guide from the tip was angled at approximately 11 o clock, while the tip was offset a bit as well. I have another on order. Glad you can return online items in store.
