Abu Garcia Veritas Spinning Rod 1002M 3.04m 8–32g Moderate Fast

Abu Garcia Veritas 1002M – precision at distance

The Abu Garcia Veritas 1002M delivers a rare blend of length, sensitivity and casting finesse for medium-lure predator fishing at range. At 3.04 m with a moderate-fast taper, this two-piece spinning rod handles 8–32 g lures with control and bite detection across open water and shoreline.

Light, responsive 30T carbon blank

The 30T carbon construction weighs just 146 g and offers a sensitive tip that telegraphs every knock and current change, while the progressive taper loads cleanly for distance casting. The moderate-fast action forgives head-shakes yet still delivers the backbone needed to pressure pike, zander and asp.

Anti-tangle guides and open reel seat

Nine Seaguide XOG guides minimise friction and resist tangles when casting braid or fluorocarbon. The open MVS-type reel seat keeps weight low and lets you rest a finger on the blank for maximum sensitivity during retrieve. High-density EVA grips stay comfortable through long sessions, and a hook keeper secures lures between spots.
