Savage Gear SG2 Light Game Spinning Rod 1.98m 5–18g

Savage Gear SG2 Light Game — precision and control for ultra-light predator fishing

The Savage Gear SG2 Light Game 1.98 m combines a fast yet forgiving action with perfectly balanced construction for confident presentations with small to medium lures. Whether you're working soft plastics, twitchbaits or micro cranks, the blank delivers exceptional feel and safe hook-sets.

Fast action with a forgiving backbone

The fast-action blank loads quickly for accurate casts yet offers enough flex to absorb sudden head-shakes and runs. You'll play fish safely without tearing hooks or snapping light lines, even when targeting nervous perch, trout or asp on fine tackle.

Ideal for finesse techniques and versatile lures

This rod handles small soft lures, cranks, spinners, spoons, twitchbaits and Carolina rigs with equal confidence. The 5–18 g casting range covers the sweet spot for light-game fishing, offering the sensitivity to detect subtle takes and the power to control fish in current or structure.
