ABU Garcia Veritas Guides

Does anyone have any idea who is the supplier of the guides for the Abu Garcia Veritas rods. They are Ti alloy with SIC rings but they seem to be thin rings?

Evolve makes the reel seats and guides for them. These rods are quite a step forward for a production company ... split butt, split seat, nano-technology blanks, titanium alloy SiC guides and all under $100.00. They actually look pretty as well ... white blanks with black components and titanium accent trims.

Do you know where I may get a replacement guide for this rod? Looks like a size 8 fly guide.

No. I haven't seen them available commercially. You MIGHT try calling Abu-Garcia, but they probably won't have any replacement parts since the production is overseas. Odds are good, they will want to just replace the entire rod.

Rolly - since you have it on hand, can you list the model and the weight? I like to keep track of these things.

I was asked to replace the guide by a tackle store instead of going through all the return shipping charges on a 100 dollar rod. I don't have the rod in hand but I could get some numbers if you wish Alex. Looks like I will be telling the owner of the store to SEND IT BACK.

if it's easy to get - thanks!

I've seen the weights on the Vendettas and not been impressed. Of course those are only $80... LOL

Rolly, I have several Veritas parts rods in my shop right now. Let me know the specs on the guide and I'll get one to you, if I have it.
