Savage Gear Salmonoid SG2 Inline Trolling Rod
The Savage Gear Salmonoid SG2 Inline Trolling rod is a highly specialized tool designed for high-performance trolling, excelling with downriggers, Dipsy Divers, and paravanes in both freshwater and saltwater environments. It is engineered with a parabolic action for optimal feel and cushion against the sudden shocks of a salmon strike.
Key Specifications:
Features for Dedicated Trolling:
- Inline Design: The lack of traditional guides reduces line friction and eliminates guide failure, making the rod extremely durable and reliable for heavy-duty trolling.
- Parabolic Action: This feature is crucial for trolling rods. The deep, full-curve action provides excellent cushioning against the fierce, sudden runs of salmon, preventing shock breaks and reducing hook pulls.
- Perfect Balance: The rod is “perfectly balanced for the optimal feel,” allowing the angler to detect changes in lure action or subtle takes, even when using heavy trolling gear.
- Durable Components: Built to withstand “the toughest fishing in rough conditions,” the rod is equipped with heavy-duty components designed for longevity:
- Tip Guide: Features a 2-piece SeaGuide ITHT tip guide (Inline Heavy Trolling), which is a robust exit guide specifically designed for inline rods.
- Reel Seat: Equipped with a Strong DPS reel seat to securely lock down large trolling reels.
- Butt Section: Includes an X Gimbal (usually a rounded or cross-shaped fitting on the butt cap) for locking into a fighting belt or rod holder, ensuring maximum security and leverage.
Ideal Applications:
- Trolling for Salmon, Trout, or Lake Trout using downriggers, Dipsy Divers, or planer boards.
- Any heavy-duty boat fishing where durability and a powerful parabolic action are preferred.
