Savage Gear Defiance SG2 Eging Spinning Rod 2.5m 1.5–3g

Savage Gear Defiance SG2 Eging 2.50m 1.5–3g — Ultra-Sensitive Squid Specialist

Feel every tentacle touch and cast further than expected with this delicate finesse rod built specifically for eging. The progressive fast action minimises tear-outs while the 24T + 30T carbon blank delivers exceptional sensitivity.

Unrivalled Sensitivity for Instant Strikes

The high-modulus carbon construction transmits even the slightest squid contact directly to your hand. You'll detect the most subtle touches and be ready to set the hook before the squid releases the lure. Despite this extreme sensitivity, the blank retains enough backbone to drive hooks cleanly into tentacles without tearing.

Progressive Fast Action for Secure Hooksets

The carefully engineered taper loads progressively during the fight, allowing you to react instantly when a squid grabs. This fast action enables quick, precise hooksets that penetrate tentacles securely while minimising the risk of pulling free. The blank also generates surprising casting distance for presenting small egi lures at range.
