Hi stefan, both rods are good, both have anti-tangle guides. The Prevail has K-guides were as the Veritas has lowrider guides. My personal preference is the Varitas. I base this on several things, lowrider guides,able to be used with a freespool reel or fixed spool and the butt length suits me better.
The butt length on the Prevail I find a bit short for me and the rod is a fraction heavier than the Veritas.
Both of these rods are good fishing rods for under $300. Tackle Tactics have both in stock, feel free to give me a call if you need any more information, Phill.
