Savage Gear Salmonoid SG2 Inline Trolling Rod
The Savage Gear Salmonoid SG2 Inline Trolling rod is a specialized, shorter-length tool engineered for high-performance trolling. It excels when using downriggers, Dipsy Divers, and paravanes in both freshwater and saltwater, where a more compact rod offers superior handling. It features a parabolic action for optimal shock absorption and cushion against the powerful runs of salmon.
Key Specifications:
Features for Dedicated Trolling:
- Compact Length: The length is ideal for smaller boats or when using multiple rod setups close to the boat, providing excellent control and making netting easier.
- Inline Design: The absence of traditional guides reduces line friction and eliminates guide failure, making the rod extremely durable and reliable for heavy-duty trolling applications.
- Parabolic Action: This deep, full-curve action is crucial for trolling rods, providing superb cushioning against sudden strikes. It effectively prevents shock breaks and significantly reduces the risk of hook pulls from hard-fighting salmon.
- Durability and Balance: Built with an ultralightweight, durable Carbon Blank, the rod is designed to last “even under the toughest fishing in rough conditions,” while remaining “perfectly balanced for the optimal feel.”
- Trolling-Specific Components:
- Tip Guide: Features a robust 2-piece SeaGuide ITHT tip guide (Inline Heavy Trolling), which serves as the final, durable exit point for the line.
- Reel Seat: Equipped with a Strong DPS reel seat to securely lock down large conventional or spinning trolling reels.
- Butt Section: Includes an X Gimbal for secure, non-slip seating in a rod holder or fighting belt.
Ideal Applications:
- Trolling for Salmon, Trout, or Lake Trout using downriggers, Dipsy Divers, or planer boards, especially in situations where a shorter rod is advantageous.
- Any heavy-duty boat fishing where durability and a powerful parabolic action are essential.
