Savage Gear Defiance SG2 Tenya 2.43m 15-60g 2pcs

Description

The Savage Gear “Defiance SG2 Tenya” rod with the specifications of 2.43m 15-60g is the lighter, more sensitive counterpart to the 25-90g model. It is designed for the same specialized Tenya fishing technique, but is finely tuned for smaller jigs and lighter presentations. This rod excels when targeting species that are shy, or in conditions where a more delicate approach is required.

General Description

This rod is a precision tool for Tenya fishing, where the goal is to present a jig-and-bait combination in a way that entices strikes from bottom-dwelling fish. The rod’s design is all about feel and sensitivity. The incredibly soft, responsive tip allows the angler to detect the subtlest of bites, even in deep water. Despite its delicate tip, the rod has a progressive power curve that transitions into a strong backbone, enabling a solid hook set and the ability to fight surprisingly large fish. The “SG2” series represents Savage Gear’s commitment to delivering high-performance gear at a great value.

Key Features

• Extreme Tip Sensitivity: The defining feature of this rod is its incredibly sensitive tip. This tip is often made from a solid carbon section, which provides unparalleled bite detection. It’s designed to transmit even the slightest “tick” or change in feel, which is crucial for the Tenya technique.
• Progressive Power: While the tip is soft, the rest of the blank provides a progressive and powerful action. This allows the rod to bend in a smooth arc under load, providing cushion to prevent hook pull-outs, while the lower section of the rod retains ample power to control and lift a fighting fish.
• High-Quality Blank Material: The rod blank is constructed from a blend of high-modulus carbons, typically 24T and 30T carbon. This combination provides the perfect balance of lightweight sensitivity and robust strength, ensuring a rod that is a pleasure to fish with all day long.
• Ergonomic and Reliable Components: The rod features high-quality components designed for saltwater use. This includes a secure, ergonomic reel seat (often from a reputable brand like SeaGuide) and durable, corrosion-resistant guides (like SeaGuide Gunsmoke SW Guides). The guides are optimized for braided line and ensure smooth line flow.
• Optimal Length for Control: The 2.43m length (approximately 8 feet) is a strategic choice. It provides excellent line control in currents, keeps the line clear of obstacles, and allows for a smooth, high-arc cast when needed.
• 2-Piece Construction: The two-piece design is a practical feature that makes the rod easy to transport and store, which is a significant advantage for anglers who travel to different fishing spots.
• High-Density EVA Handle: The handle is crafted from high-density EVA foam, which provides a comfortable and secure grip even when wet. The handle’s shape is designed for the subtle, repetitive movements of Tenya fishing.
