Savage Gear Defiance SG8 Inshore 2.29m 5–28g — Precision Seabass Casting in a One-Piece Design

This compact 2.29 m spinning rod combines extreme sensitivity with tournament-ready build quality for targeting seabass and inshore species. With its fast-recovering 46T Torayca blank and Synergrip carbon handle, you'll feel every bite and deliver accurate casts all day long.

Maximum Distance and Pinpoint Accuracy

The fast-tapered 46T Torayca + Nano400 T1100G blank, reinforced with 4X Wrap V2 carbon technology, loads smoothly and recovers instantly thanks to Reset Accelerator Technology. Fuji Titanium K SiC guides reduce friction and resist saltwater corrosion, letting you cast light lures up to 28 g with minimal effort and maximum control.

Unmatched Sensitivity and Secure Grip

The Synergrip carbon handle paired with a rubberized Fuji VSS reel seat transmits every vibration directly to your hand, even through gloves or in wet conditions. At just 124 g, this extra-fast action rod lets you detect subtle takes and work lures with precision over long sessions.
