General Description

The Savage Gear Defiance SG2 Tenya rod is a purpose-built tool for a delicate yet powerful fishing style. Unlike traditional vertical jigging, Tenya requires a rod with a soft, sensitive tip to feel the slightest take, combined with a powerful butt section to set the hook and fight the fish. The 2.43m length is longer than a typical jigging rod, providing a better casting range from a boat and improved line control. The “SG2” designation places it in Savage Gear’s high-quality mid-range category, ensuring a blend of performance and value.

Key Features

• Tenya-Specific Action: The rod has a unique, fast-tapered action. The tip is incredibly sensitive, often made from a solid carbon material, to detect the delicate bites of species like snapper or seabream. The rest of the blank, however, has a progressive power curve that transfers seamlessly into a strong backbone for fighting fish.
• Specialized Blank Material: The rod blank is typically constructed from high-modulus carbon, such as 24T and 30T carbon. This blend provides the ideal combination of sensitivity and strength, ensuring the rod is light to hold yet powerful when it counts.
• Ergonomic Reel Seat: The rod features a high-quality reel seat, often from a respected manufacturer like SeaGuide. The seat is designed to be comfortable in the hand for long hours of fishing and provides a secure lock for the reel.
• Quality Guides: The rod is fitted with high-quality guides, often from SeaGuide or a similar brand, with stainless steel frames and corrosion-resistant rings. The guide system is optimized for Tenya fishing, providing smooth line flow for both casting and retrieving.
• Optimized Length: The 2.43m length (approx. 8ft) is longer than most dedicated jigging rods. This length is intentional, providing better line control in currents and a longer casting distance for reaching targets.
• 2-Piece Construction: The rod comes in two sections. This is a practical design for Tenya fishing, as it makes the rod much easier to transport and store compared to a single-piece rod.
• Comfortable Handle: The handle is made from high-density EVA foam, which provides a comfortable and secure grip even when wet. The handle’s design is tailored to the Tenya technique, which often involves a mix of jigging and a sensitive hold.
