Tailor made to help increase your success with crankbait techniques, the Abu Garcia Veritas PLX Winch Spinning Rods are an accessible series of cranking rods perfect for hobbyists and tournament anglers alike. Featuring 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. The Veritas PLX Winch is built on moderate taper blanks to provide parabolic actions conducive to crankbait fishing. The action of these rods will help you achieve long casts and keep fish pinned on treble hook baits, turning more of your hard won bites into landed fish. Sensitivity and comfort are ensured by the custom Abu Garcia blank exposed reel seat that helps transmit vibrations directly from blank to hand. Coupled with titanium alloy guides with zirconium inserts and closed cell EVA split grips, the Veritas PLX Winch pushes the limits of high-performance fishing rods in its class.
