Hi there casters and thanks Neil. I will be in tomorrow with the rod for you to have a look at. Abu Man, The new Veritas, that will not be on the market for few weeks yet, is built with oval low rider guides. Perfect for overhead reels as well as spin reels. Testing has been carried out with the new Veritas by Mark Roberts noted caster of overhead reels with his Akiosreel and he reached distances out to over 170 metres. Phill Kettle and I cast with spin reels and easily acheived the same distances.
Proved itself to me.

Hope this helps.
