What happened to the new Abu rod? The white one Ike is suppose to be testing. I think it was called verotis or something like that. Showed it off at the classic. Suppose to have been ready for ICAST. I seen they had a another one with the telescopic handle.

True. I think TT might have had something about the Veritas shortly before the show. Maybe its out, I wouldnt go by just what is covered by press. To me there has been absolutely pitiful coverage of Icast this year coupled with companies not coming out with much.

TT previewed both the veritas and the verdict rods. the veritas was supposed to be introduced at icast and then available september but i then read a post from one of the apparent abu-garcia insiders that hinted that they were reworking the specs for the guides and that the rods have been pushed back to maybe november or december. just a rumor though.

There is a new article about the verdict rod on TT.

Is this the rod your talking about? Just saw it on cabelas.
