Savage Gear Defiance SG2 Distance Game Spinning Rod 2.9m 10–40g Fast

Savage Gear Defiance SG2 Distance Game 2.90 m 10–40 g — cast beyond the swell

When distance separates you from feeding fish, this 2.90-metre spinning rod delivers the casting performance you need. Developed specifically for long-range shore fishing, the Defiance SG2 Distance Game excels from surf-swept beaches, rocky headlands and river mouths where extra metres matter.

Built for superior casting range

The 2.90 m blank combines 24T and 30T high-modulus carbon with CCS (Controlled Curve System) guide placement to load smoothly and release energy efficiently. Every component—from the SeaGuide Gold Label reel seat to the Gunsmoke SW saltwater guides—is positioned to maximise casting distance without sacrificing accuracy. The fast action recovers quickly, letting you work lures effectively even at long range.

Versatile enough for multiple techniques

Whether you're retrieving minnows through the surf, working metal jigs over sandbanks or walking sinking pencils across current seams, the 10–40 g casting window handles the lure styles that produce sea bass, bluefish and other saltwater predators. The split-grip EVA handle reduces weight and improves balance for all-day casting comfort, while the dual-section design packs down to 150 cm for convenient transport.

Choose the right variant

The Defiance SG2 Distance Game series offers three power options to match your target species and lure choice:

• 10–40 g (201 g) — minnows, light metal lures, small sinking pencils; sea bass, schoolie bluefish, smaller saltwater species; calmer conditions and moderate surf

• 15–50 g (208 g) — larger minnows, medium spoons and jigs, standard pencils; sea bass, bluefish, bonito; moderate to rough surf

• 30–70 g (232 g) — heavy metal jigs, large pencils, big spoons; bluefish, bonito, leerfish; strong surf, deeper water, wind
