The Abu Garcia Veritas Spinning Rod is extremely lightweight, sensitive, and well balanced to give you the ABU fish-catching advantage. By using 30-ton graphite with SubLayer Armor, Abu Garcia significantly improves durability and hoop strength of the Veritas, without increasing weight. An exposed blank reel seat with an up locking, ratcheting hood makes a direct connection between rod and reel, and secures the reel tightly. Premium titanium-alloy guides with Zirconium inserts compliment the rods lightweight and superb balance. ROCS guide train maximizes casting distance with lighter lures. The Veritas Spinning Rod utilizes high-density EVA split grips to enhance sensitivity and provide a comfortable nonslip hold under wet conditions. An ABU designed hook keeper is compatible with all baits. Images depict the style of the rod handle and may not fully represent the actual length. Cancer and Reproductive Harm- www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
