July 21, 2021

Lightweight and loaded with features allow anglers to fish to win.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Abu Garcia continues to innovate in the rod category, expanding two acclaimed rod families to make them even better suited for ultra-competitive anglers who look for an advantage whether they are fishing for fun or for a trophy. The Fantasista X and the new Veritas PLX Tournament rods deliver performance, strength and sensitivity with configurations to match the most common bass-fishing techniques.

Featuring a sleek design and high-performance features, the new Fantasista X rods are constructed with 36-ton graphite and Abu Garcia’s proprietary Powerlux 500 resin system. The Abu Garcia custom Fuji soft-touch reel seats coupled with a split-grip design help further reduce weight and increase sensitivity in the nine casting and four spinning rods included in the Fantasista X family.

The new Abu Garcia Veritas PLX Tournament rods offer serious anglers increased strength and sensitivity with reduced weight. Featuring an all-black rod blank constructed of 36-ton graphite with Powerlux 200 resin, the Veritas PLX Tournament rods stand out from other all-white rods bearing the Veritas name. The distinction in aesthetics underscores the additional performance-based features of these new rods, which includes titanium-alloy guides with zirconium inserts, Carbon handle split-grip design and the Robotically Optimized Casting System guide train that maximizes casting distance. Combined, these enhancements result in a rod that’s 6 percent lighter and 7 percent more sensitive than other Veritas PLX rods.
