Abu Garcia Veritas Rod Buyer’s Guide
You may be a little lost about which rod to buy, but we’ll try and help make the decision easier for you. We stock many rods in the Abu Garcia Veritas range and it can sometimes feel like there are too many options! If this sounds a little like how you feel then take note of what's below and our specs table above: each model has been assigned a recommended reel size so that selecting one won't leave too much guess work.
Light - Medium River and Lake models (spin) In this category of fishing rods for sale, we start with the model 702L, which is rated 2-4kg and is our top selling model for those who fish in lakes and rivers for all typical species such as flathead, bream, and whiting in saltwater then Australian bass, trout, and perch in freshwater. Its light class makes it an excellent all-around choice for the light inshore angler.
If you want to go all out, Models 682ML and 702M are the models to consider purchasing. Their line ratings are the next level up, implying that if you're not yet comfortable using finesse line classes in lakes and rivers, these models are ideal for you. For those that target slightly larger fresh and saltwater fish species such as bigger yellowbelly perch, school lake jewfish, flathead over 60cm, and any other fish that provides a little more curry over your traditional light class fish, they're ideal. These few rods also make an ideal choice for anglers that fish offshore where the water isn’t too deep and you have a desire to fish ultra-light offshore.
Heavier Spin Models - The Veritas 732H and the 702XH are two good options for those who prefer to fish heavy spin gear. Both of these models are from a heavier category and are built to take on such species such as cod, barra, kingfish, big salmon, tailor, snapper, and other coastal and offshore denizens.
Rock and Beach Fishing Models - The Veritas 932 rod is a fantastic option if you fish the rocks and spin lures on one rod. The ideal size for shore spinning is this 9ft 3-inch length Veritas 932 rod, which is perfect for targeting kingfish, bonito, Australian salmon, tailor, cobia, and a variety of other sport fish.
We also have the 10ft veritas, which does everything the Veritas 932 does plus more, but with a longer length, it becomes a wiser choice to buy the 1002H if you also fish the beaches to assist you to get that bait or lure out just a little farther. Consider using our 1203 model to go right out past the breakers.
Overhead Baitcaster Model - The Abu Garcia Veritas baitcaster rod model C-601H is a 5-10kg rated rod with a lure weight of 12-68 grams that can throw all your favorite barra and cod lures from spinnerbaits to soft plastics, big hard body lures to various swimbaits.

Long story short, keep one in the car, the office or your brief case. Whatever the case, you can now have a rod of superb quality and performance wherever you go, however light you are travelling.
