Looking to pick up one of these and not sure which way to go. 7'3" Veracity heavy or Fenwick Aetos 7'4 heavy. On sale for $119 and $139 respectively. Anyone tried both and have an opinion?? Thanks.

Ugh..throw the Okuma Helios in there too. At $149 seems too good to ignore. So out of the 3 of them.

Love my aetos, light and with very quality materials... Preference when it comes down to it, the other rods mentioned are both eva grips where the aetos is cork. If you really want to get confused throw the diawa tatula rod into the mix. (So much bang for the buck)

If you want a heavy rod from abu go with the 7'6"+ villain.
