Abu Garcia Veritas Tournament 701 Baitcasting Rod, from the best Veritas range to hit the market yet. Designed with Powerlux 100 blanks this proprietary resin technology has proven to increase rod break strength without adding materials or weight, allowing us to build a much stronger rod without affecting the balance or overall feel of the rod. The Abu Garcia custom designed reel seat delivers hypersensitivity around the exposed blank sections and improves comfort for all day fishing. Coupled with X guides and Closed Cell split grips, the new Abu Garcia Veritas tournament rod series pushes the limits of high performance fishing rods.
