New Rod

[TBone66]

Alrighty fellas, i got another one for ya. Im getting a new rod. 7ft MH. Either a BPS carbon light, Abu Veritas, or a E21 Wild Carrot stix. All are right at 100 bucks.

carbonlite,love em

Can't go wrong with any of these. Of those 3 its all personal prefrence. Find the length n action you like. I will say the carrot loads up different than the other 2 and may be a hair lighter. All the carrot stix load up a little strange though. Not bad, just different. Very difficult to explain the feel, the rod loads more parabolicly than other rods on the hook set but the rod action is still there. Wierd but good. Keeps you from tearing hooks out of fish, but no lack of back bone.

I can't speak about the other two rods you mentioned, but I have two CarbonLite baitcasters and I love them both. 7ft M and 7ft MH.

The carrot stix med heavy loads like a med,and many have a tendancy to break.
I own one it did break fact warrenty isnt that good fixed locally,it is light,but limited in backbone 4-41/2bs is about it in grass or lilly pads.
For frogging both my kistler heavy action and a med heavy shimano are better and all cost about the same when purchased 100 bucks.

e21 claims to have fixed their quality issues, but I'd still never buy one. Besides that, I think the Veritas and Carbonlite are both better rods anyways. If you'd go with the regular guide Carbonlite, I'd probably go with the Veritas because some of the guides on the Carbonlite are huge... If you'd go micro, I'd probably go with the carbonlite since the veritas isn't available in micro.

I have 2 Carbonlites. Both 6’6” MH, one regular guides and one micro. Both are incredibly light, but the micro is just ridiculously light. I have picked up any rod that comes close to it at any price.

Look around "Google" and you can find the Veritas for way less than $99. I am loving my new ones.

i just bought a veritas the other day, obviously i cant comment on durability but its a awesome rod so far.

I fish rods from both E21 and Abu, of the rods that you have mentioned I feel like the Veritas is a better rod than the Wild. I do however like the original LTX Carrot Stix better than the Veritas, I think it is a more sensitive rod. I can only speak for the LTX series but I have not experienced what Lvitch is talking about as far as the way the rods load, they feel like most other rods I have used, I do have a MH Mod rod that I use for Crankbaits and I will agree that it has a very nice parabolic bend to it, but I have not experienced this with the others. One rod you may want to add to your list of rods to look at is the Falcon Bucoo, very light, good sensitivity and good build quality. Good luck.
