Wiseguy909 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I got a 7' medium heavy Veritas for fathers day and loved it. Saturday night at the tournament I set the hook on a dink and shattered it about 3/4 of the way up the rod. It sounded like a shotgun went off. I had babied that rod because I liked it so well. I took it back to the sporting goods store on monday and had to pay $10 bucks and they replaced it over the counter. I hope this one lasts.

Triton196 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I hate to hear that but at least you got it replaced. I have 2 of them and have intentionally been rough on them to see if they can take it and so far they have. knock on wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I also have a couple and love them..... I would call Abu Garcia Customer Service and find out why you had to pay the $10..... It should have been a direct swap because of the warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
