Engineered for superior strength without adding extra weight, the Abu Garcia Veritas PLX Casting Rods utilize advanced materials for uncompromising performance at a great value. Built with a unique Powerlux 100 resin system, the new Veritas blanks are 15% stronger while reducing weight by 5% to remain exceptionally well balanced. The Powerlux 100 resin system evenly distributes nano particles between each carbon fiber to enhance the rod's performance and strength by preventing cracks in the blank material. By improving the rods impact and fracture resistance, Powerlux technology will dramatically increase the lifespan of the rod by preventing micro-fractures that eventually lead to breakage.
