This combo is best suited to fishing for Aussie natives such as Bass, Perch and Yellowbelly in both impoundments and rivers, although it can also be used for saltwater fish such as smaller Barramundi and Mulloway. The SLX is a lightweight reel and is a joy to fish with over long periods of time, it has 5 kilos of smooth drag, an important feature of baitcast reels. The highspeed SLX is ideal for lure fishing, especially when casting into snags as you are able to keep in contact with your lure with ease and use lures quickly to trigger a reaction bite. The Abu Garcia Veritas PLX is built on a light graphite blank, giving the combo a finesse feel, the Veritas also has anti tangle Fiji K guides.
This Combo Includes
- Abu Garcia Veritas PLX 2-5kg 6ft2 1pc
- Shimano SLX 150
- Shimano PowerPro Moss Green 150yd 10lbs
Inside the SLXâs Hagane Body, brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and three SUS bearings and one roller bearing means everything turns smoothly. The reel incorporates a compact design that is comparable to a 70 sized Curado, however the reel has the same line capacity as Shimanoâs standard 150 sized reels, fitting 150m of 20lb Power Pro. A longer 45mm Throw Handle working in conjunction with two model options featuring gear ratios of 6.3:1 and 7.2:1 means that the slow and methodical lure worker and the angler who likes a bit of speed are well covered by the new SLX series. On top of this, maxâ drag settings of between 5 and 5.5kg provides some amazing stopping power should it be needed.

The innovative nano-resin blank technology in the Veritas Tournament series utilises nanospheres baked into the blank of the rod. These spheres fill in around the carbon fibre molecules, thereby reinforcing the rod tip and preventing fractures, all without increasing the rodâs weight. Thanks to Powerlux, the Veritas Tournament Edition is not only 5% lighter but also 15% stronger than the standard Veritas. Neither stiff nor brittle, rods with Powerlux technology are the pinnacle of performance. Offering serious anglers a rod with increased strength and improved weight and sensitivity, the new Abu Garcia® Veritas® Tournament range pushes the limits of high-performance fishing rods.
