Description Compromising was never Abu Garcia's strong suit. That’s why they designed the Veritas to be not only affordable, but sensitive enough to feel the faintest hit and strong enough to handle bashing through the bush to a remote waterway. Despite the deceptively airy feel, the new Veritas is robust, responsive and comfortable to fish with from dawn to dusk. The iconic white rod puts more expensive gear to shame with its downright ruthless performance.
