More on this I did some research today in other words I made a phone call. The skinny on the Veritas is that there is not 2.0 version of the rod . The Lowrider version is the latest and greatest. You have to take your hat off to the salesman to come up with a pitch like that. Hangler I know you hate the Veritas but many love them. You should also know that at this time of year many shops try to move on any stock they have had for a while as they will be receiving their new season indents.
There is still a little resistance to the Lowriders by most who have never tried them. The most important point to remember is the reliability when casting.
