Designed with Powerlux® 300 blanks, the NEW Abu Garcia® Veracity™ offers the strength and durability needed by serious anglers, while remaining lightweight and sensitive. Powerlux® resin is baked into the blank to fill in evenly around the 40 Ton carbon fibers, allowing a reduction in weight and ultimately a stronger and more sensitive rod. The Abu Garcia® custom designed Fuji® soft touch reel seat delivers hypersensitivity around the exposed blank sections, and also improves comfort for all day fishing. Coupled with titanium alloy guides with Zirconium inserts and cork and EVA split grips, the Abu Garcia® Veracity™ pushes the limits of high-performance fishing rods.
Powerlux® delivers a 30% stronger rod while remaining light weight and well balanced* (*On average, based on controlled lab testing, compared to identically constructed rods without Powerlux® resin). Results may vary.
