Savage Gear Defiance SG8 Inshore Spinning Rod 2.36m 12–56g

Savage Gear Defiance SG8 Inshore 2.36m 12–56g — built for seabass precision and distance

The 2.36 m model combines versatile 12–56 g lure range with pinpoint accuracy and featherlight 142 g weight, making it the go-to choice for hunting seabass with everything from light hardbaits to heavier jigs.

Premium carbon blank for explosive casts

The fast-tapered 46T Torayca blank reinforced with Nano400 T1100G carbon delivers exceptional power transfer and Reset Accelerator Technology ensures the blank snaps back instantly after every cast. You'll achieve maximum distance while retaining the sensitivity to detect every take, even in challenging coastal conditions.

Synergrip handle and titanium guides for all-day comfort

The Synergrip carbon handle with rubberized Fuji VSS reel seat gives you a secure grip in wet conditions, while nine Fuji Titanium K SiC guides resist saltwater corrosion and guarantee smooth line flow. Extra Fast action provides direct contact to your lure and instant hook-setting power.
