The Abu Garcia Veritas Tournament Solid-Tip Casting Rod gives forward-facing sonar anglers the control to track suspended bass, smallmouth, walleye, and spotted bass while working minnows, finesse swimbaits, hover rigs, and light jighead presentations with precise rod-tip movement. Its 36 Ton graphite blank with Powerlux 200 resin keeps the rod lightweight, balanced, and sensitive, while the 24 Ton solid carbon tip loads smoothly and helps anglers "work" a minnow more naturally than a hollow-tip rod. The Robotically Optimized Casting System guide train helps maximize casting distance with lighter lures, a key advantage when targeting fish seen on sonar before they slide out of range. An Abu custom integrated reel seat with molded handle design, innovative reel locking mechanism, and high-density EVA grips add comfort, secure reel connection, sensitivity, and durability for long days of tournament-style casting. 36 Ton graphite with Powerlux 200 resin creates a lightweight, balanced blank with increased sensitivity 24 Ton solid carbon tip supports forward-facing sonar techniques and easier minnow-style bait control Robotically Optimized Casting System guide train helps maximize casting distance with lighter lures Abu custom integrated reel seat, secure reel locking mechanism, molded handle, and high-density EVA improve comfort and control Manufacturer's one-year limited warranty
