This high-performance combo features the Abu Garcia Veritas Tournament Rod and the Shimano Ultegra C3000HG Reel, offering a superior setup for serious anglers seeking precision and durability on the water.

Next Level Strength and Sensitivity: The innovative nano-resin blank technology in the Abu Garcia Veritas Tournament series utilises nanospheres baked into the blank of the rod. These spheres fill in around the carbon fibre molecules, thereby reinforcing the rod tip and preventing fractures, all without increasing the rod’s weight. Thanks to Powerlux, the Veritas Tournament Edition is not only 5% lighter but also 15% stronger than the standard Veritas. Neither stiff nor brittle, rods with Powerlux technology represent the pinnacle of fishing rod performance.

Significant Evolution with Latest Features: The new Ultegra is the ultimate evolution of one of Shimano's most popular mid-priced reels. The combination of HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-Ship, and Silent Drive ensures the very best winding performance, even under pressure, with faultless smoothness that enhances the fishing experience.

X-Protect technology prevents water from getting into the moving parts of the line roller and roller clutch, extending longevity and delivering failsafe performance. For distance casting, the Long Stroke Spool design and AR-C Spool enable the line to flow more freely during the cast, and the addition of a CI4+ Body reduces overall weight for less fatigue when fishing for extended periods.

• HAGANE: A Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
• HAGANE GEAR: With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication. Instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability. This strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
