Replacing My Fallen Baitcasting Rig
I'm replacing my rig I dropped in a lake a few weeks ago. I'm definitely getting another BPS Pro Qualifier but I'm going to change rods.
Here are the candidates: Carrot Stix Wilde 7' MH BPS CarbonLite Micro Guides 7' MH Abu Garcia Veritas Micro Guides 7' MH Place your vote and give me a little feedback on your vote. |

I bought the BPS Carbonlite non-micro. For some reason I have had issues with the length of the rod behind the reel. Catches on everything.

Great choice on going with micro guides! I don't own any of those 3 but I do have a Falcon Bucoo micro that I like very much, it is in the same "class" as the 3 you mention. I also have a Lamiglas Excel with micro guides that is fantastic and in the same basic price range. That said, between the rods you listed, I would go with Carrot Stix Wild. I have handled these rods in the store and I was impressed. I also know a few people who have them and recommend them. Good luck!

Hey I voted for the Veritas becasue they make a great rod. The only problem I have had with people in the store with them is the eyes. Not made very well and will break off. Have several guys who buy them and have a local guy re do each of them. At $100 you can't hardly beat the Veritas just eyes are the only problem. Have a good one.

yeah they will break off or fall off easier than say a Duckett or one of the other. Just not the best quality guide, other than that they are hard to beat. However, I have never used a rod as good as those Duckett's. If your considering a micro guide there isn't any better. Great product, great people, and great warrenty. I deal with them on the inside level and that is the best company I have dealt with since I have started the store almost a year ago. Boyd is a heck of a guy and great person to do business with. Feel free to shoot me an email and ask any questions you want. matt3mckee@gmail.com
