I have had alot of rods trying to look for the lighest best feeling rods that i can. I now own 3 abu garcia veritas, 1 lamiglass excel, and halo twillite and i love them all dearly for there own presentations. I am going to have to say I like the veritas better than the rest. They seem to have the most feel and are light and very durable. I also like the bps carbon lights but this just my opinion and hope it helps.
