Savage Gear SG2 Vertical Specialist Spinning Rod 1.98m 7–21g Moderate Fast

Savage Gear SG2 Vertical Specialist — Precision Control for Vertical Techniques

The SG2 Vertical Specialist Spinning Rod 1.98 m delivers exceptional sensitivity and direct feedback for vertical fishing, whether you're probing structure for perch or working boat-side for pike and zander.

Ultra-Sensitive Blank with Direct Contact

The super-sensitive carbon blank pairs with a reel seat that connects directly to the carbon fiber, eliminating dampening materials between your hand and the lure. You'll feel every tap, bump, and take instantly, letting you detect subtle bites and maintain constant lure contact even in deeper water or current.

Lightweight Progressive Action

At just 127 g, this 2-piece rod balances all-day comfort with a moderate fast action that loads progressively under pressure. The blank flexes smoothly to absorb headshakes and sudden runs while providing enough backbone to drive hooks home and control fish in tight quarters around the boat.

Choose the Right Variant

The SG2 Vertical Specialist range offers two casting weight options to match your lures and target species:

• 1.98 m, 7–21 g, Medium power, 127 g — ideal for lighter vertical jigs, drop-shot rigs, and smaller soft plastics when targeting perch, smaller zander, and trout in freshwater; suits finesse presentations and moderate depths

• 1.98 m, 20–35 g, Medium Heavy power, 132 g — handles heavier vertical jigs, larger soft baits, and bigger spoons for pike, larger zander, and saltwater species; designed for deeper water and stronger current
