Savage Gear Defiance SG8 Inshore Spinning Rod 2.64m 9–42g

Savage Gear Defiance SG8 Inshore 2.64m 9–42g — Built for Precision Seabass Fishing

This 2.64 m spinning rod combines tournament-grade Japanese carbon with Fuji titanium hardware for effortless long-distance casting and rock-solid durability in saltwater.

Lightning Recovery for Fast Strikes

The 46T Torayca blank with Nano400 T1100G reinforcement and Reset Accelerator Technology delivers extra-fast action and instant blank recovery. You'll feel every tap and set hooks with authority—even on subtle seabass bites at range. The fast taper loads smoothly for accurate placement of lures from 9 to 42 g.

Secure Grip in Every Condition

Synergrip carbon and EVA handle sections paired with a rubberized Fuji VSS reel seat give you full control in wet conditions. The ergonomic design balances the 136 g weight perfectly, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. Nine Fuji Titanium K SiC guides resist corrosion and dissipate heat on long casts.
