Veritas Nanotech

The Territory has long been a mecca for trophy fish and the tackle that is required to tame that fish of a lifetime has evolved from the heartbreaks and frustrations of monsters lost to inferior products. Fortunately, the space age has come to the rescue and now, tackle failure is, or should be, a thing of the past.

Todays anglers are blessed with lighter, stronger, faster, deeper, more sensitive, tougher, rods, reels lines, lures and all the rest that goes into the tackle kit.

Weight has always been a bugbear and long sessions spinning with overweight gear that was required to maximize the pulling power of rods is now a thing of the past. Enter the ABU Veritas range of rods with Nano technology.

Nano is a word often heard but seldom understood. In simple terms it is the use of micro particles on an atomic scale embedded into the base material to provide a greater degree of strength. The trade off for fishing rods is a lighter rod that can potentially pull harder with less likelihood of breaking! Benefits all round – less fatigue casting over long sessions, confidence in the power of the rod and security knowing that used correctly, the rod will do more than any rod has ever done before without failing.

This doesn’t mean you can now high stick under heavy drag pressure but you can short pump with more drag applied and shorten those fight times or bully fish out of cover that would have stopped the fight in it’s tracks.

The Veritas series will comprise 12 models several of which are perfect fits for Territory angling.

The spin models in the 6′ and 7′ lengths will cover the 6-10kg classes perfectly and do all the lure work associated with the top end. The trigger models have two 5’6″ and one 5’9″ model all aimed squarely at the 4-10kg line ranges. The 5’9″ 5-9kg model in particular was developed with input from NT anglers.

Look for Veritas in stores from about Mid October 2010. With a RRP of around $140 for any model and with the awesome technology that is in every rod, the signature look of the pearly white Veritas range may just be the new best thing going around.”
