Savage Gear SGS6 Tenya Game 8’3″ 25-95g 2Sec BC

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Design Highlights

• Precision Bite Transmission: Ultra-sensitive tip section signals delicate nibbles from cautious bottom-dwellers before they feel resistance.
• Progressive Japanese Curve Geometry: Seamlessly transfers power down the blank during intense runs, taking the strain off light leaders and hook holds.
• Fuji SiC K-Series Guides: Reduces line friction and eliminates line wrap around the guides, crucial when fishing thin braided lines in high-wind or drift conditions.
• Ergonomic Baitcast Setup: Provides superior control over drop speed and instant spool engagement as soon as the Tenya jig strikes the bottom.

Where & How to Use

• Deep-Water Reefs & Wrecks: Perfect for bouncing weighted Tenya jigs stacked with whole prawn or squid baits across offshore reefs and structures.
• Drift Fishing for Seabream Species: Ideal for targeting Red Bream, Black Seabream, Couch’s Bream, and Dentex in moderate to strong tidal drifts requiring 25g to 95g heads.
• Rough Ground Wrasse & Bass: Excellent for vertical bait presentation around rocky pinnacles where fast hook-setting power is required to pull fish clear of structure immediately.

Pro Tip

When fishing Tenya jigs with fresh bait, keep slight tension on the line as the lure sinks. A large proportion of bites occur on the drop as the bait flutters down. With this baitcasting setup, feather the spool gently with your thumb on the descent—if you feel the line slacken unexpectedly before reaching the seabed, engage the reel and strike immediately.
