Product Details and Uses

The Abu Garcia Veritas series is a renowned lineup of high-performance rods, and the “LTD” designation signifies a limited edition model with upgraded features and specialized components. The 702M 7′ 7-28g model is a versatile and powerful spinning rod, specifically designed for a wide range of medium predator fishing techniques.

Design Philosophy

The Veritas LTD is built with a focus on advanced technology and premium materials to deliver a rod that is both incredibly sensitive and exceptionally strong. It is designed to provide anglers with a lightweight feel and the power to handle powerful fish. The “spinning” designation means it is built for use with spinning reels.

Rod Blank and Construction

Blank Material: The rod is constructed from 3M Powerlux 1000 carbon. This is a significant upgrade from standard carbon blanks. Powerlux is a nanoresin technology that creates a blank that is up to 15% stronger and 5% lighter than traditional carbon, without adding weight or sacrificing sensitivity. This results in a rod that is incredibly responsive, allowing the angler to feel subtle bites, while having the strength to handle aggressive fish.
Blank Technology: The Veritas LTD uses Spiral Carbon Core construction. This unique technology involves wrapping multiple layers of carbon fibers in a spiral pattern around the blank’s core. This enhances the rod’s strength, sensitivity, and resistance to twisting, which improves casting accuracy and fighting power.
Action: The rod has a Fast Action. This means the rod bends primarily in the upper third of the blank. This action is ideal for a medium spinning rod, as it provides a powerful, quick-recovering backbone for driving hooks into the mouths of fish and for handling the stress of casting a wide range of lures.
Power: The rod’s power is rated as Medium (M). This is a highly versatile power rating, indicating a rod with enough backbone to handle a wide range of lure weights and fight strong fish, while still being sensitive enough for a variety of techniques.
Lure Rating: The lure rating of 7-28g is a very popular and versatile range for all-around predator fishing. This makes the rod suitable for casting a variety of baits, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, soft plastics, and jigs.
Pieces: The rod is a 2-piece design. This is a convenient configuration for a rod of this length, making it easy to transport and store without compromising the rod’s strength or action.

Components and Features

Guides: The rod is equipped with premium Titanium Alloy guides with zirconium inserts. The titanium alloy frames are incredibly light and corrosion-resistant, reducing the rod’s overall weight and improving balance. The zirconium inserts provide a slick surface to minimize friction and wear on braided line.
Reel Seat: The rod features an ergonomic Fuji reel seat. Fuji is a premium manufacturer, and their reel seats are known for their comfort, durability, and secure connection with the spinning reel.
Handle: The handle is made of High-Density EVA. The EVA material provides a comfortable and secure grip, even when wet. The split-grip design also helps to reduce the rod’s overall weight and improve balance.
Woven Carbon Accent: The rod features a woven carbon accent above the handle, which not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also reinforces the rod’s high-end construction.
