Abu Garcia Veritas VRT5 702M + Abu Max Pro 3000
Product Description
If you are looking for a highly sensitive, perfectly balanced combo for pitching softbaits to schooling Snapper or casting small metals at Kahawai, the Abu Garcia Veritas V5 Combo is built exactly for the task. This factory-matched setup pairs the iconic, aggressively styled white Veritas rod with the silky smooth performance of the Max Pro spinning reel, delivering tournament-level feel without the top-tier price tag.
The foundation of this combo is the Veritas V5 702M Rod. Now in its fifth generation, Abu Garcia has utilised a 30-Ton Extra High Density Graphite (EHDG) blank to drastically reduce weight while increasing overall break strength. Rated for 4-8kg line, it has a fast, responsive medium action that effortlessly transmits the subtlest taps from cautious fish directly to your hand. It features premium Fuji KR guides with FazLite inserts, making it completely braid-ready and highly resistant to wind knots.
Complementing the rod is the Abu Garcia Max Pro SP30 (3000-size) spinning reel. Taking design cues from Abu Garcia’s premium Revo lineup, the Max Pro features a lightweight graphite body housing a remarkably smooth 7-bearing system. Equipped with the Rocket Line Management system and an angled spool lip, this reel is specifically engineered to maximise your casting distance—crucial when trying to reach fish busting the surface just out of standard range.
Key Features
30-Ton EHDG Blank: The Extra High Density Graphite rod blank provides a deceptive "airy" feel while remaining incredibly robust and sensitive.
Fuji FazLite Guides: High-quality, tangle-free Fuji KR-frame guides ensure perfect line management and extreme durability when using braided lines.
Rocket Line Management: The reel's specialised bail and spool lip design significantly reduce friction, adding vital metres to your cast and preventing wind knots.
Silky Smooth Reel Operation: A 7-bearing system (6 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing) delivers effortless, fluid cranking power.
Ergonomic Split-Grip: The rod is finished with a closed-cell EVA full-short split grip, providing excellent weather resistance and comfort for all-day casting.
Instant Anti-Reverse: Eliminates any back-play in the reel handle for solid, instant hooksets the moment a fish strikes.
