The Savage Gear Revenge SG2 Vertical is a casting rod designed for vertical fishing. This technique, particularly effective for tracking deepwater predators or under the boat, requires specific equipment combining extreme sensitivity, reserve power, and precision in setting the hook. The Revenge SG2 Vertical perfectly meets these requirements thanks to advanced technical design and high-quality components.
Whether you're targeting pike, zander or perch, this rod provides the necessary performance to detect the most subtle bites, accurately animate your lures, and effectively fight your catches.
The heart of the Revenge SG2 Vertical lies in its ultra-sensitive blank made from high modulus 24+30T carbon. This technical designation refers to the use of high-strength carbon fibers (24 tons and 30 tons), offering an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. High modulus carbon is characterized by its ability to instantly transmit the slightest vibrations, allowing you to perfectly feel the behavior of your lure and the most discreet touches.
This extreme sensitivity is a major asset in vertical fishing, where tactile detection takes precedence over visual detection. You will clearly perceive the lure's contact with the bottom, obstacles, as well as the most subtle touches. This real-time information transmission allows you to instantly adjust your animation.
The Revenge SG2 Vertical stands out for its progressive action and power, essential characteristics for vertical fishing. Progressive action means that the rod flexes harmoniously under load, from the tip to the butt, without hard points or weak zones. This balanced curvature distribution provides several decisive advantages. During hook-setting, the rod responds instantly while maintaining some flexibility to avoid lost fish. During fighting, the power comes into full play: the rod works along its entire length, absorbing violent rushes while maintaining constant pressure on the fish.
This combination of progressive action and power allows for control over both medium-sized perches and pikes or zanders, offering appreciated versatility to tackle different fishing situations.
One of the major innovations of the Revenge SG2 Vertical lies in its reel seat directly attached to the carbon. This technical design, also called "through handle" or "integrated reel seat", eliminates intermediate layers between the reel seat and the blank. This direct connection provides better sensitivity as vibrations transit without attenuation from the blank to the angler's hand through the reel seat.
The Double Lock reel seat ensures perfectly secure attachment of the casting reel. This double fixation system eliminates any risk of untimely loosening, ensuring perfect alignment between the rod and reel for precise casting and optimal animations.
The equipment with SeaGuide CCS rings in stainless steel with SiN inserts attests to the attention to detail and quality. Stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance, particularly important during saltwater fishing or in wet conditions. SiN (Silicon Nitride) inserts represent the best in ceramics for rod rings. This ultra-hard material perfectly withstands abrasion caused by modern braids, even the finest and most technical ones.
The distribution and sizing of the rings have been specifically studied for vertical fishing, ensuring a harmonious curvature of the blank and optimal management of the braid during the fast ascents and descents characteristic of this technique.
The Revenge SG2 Vertical comes with a Competition Ready-To-Fish cover, a practical and qualitative accessory. This protective cover allows you to transport and store your rods safely, protecting them from shocks, scratches, and external attacks.
The Revenge SG2 Vertical excels in all vertical fishing techniques. Lure fishing with a soft bait on a jig head, a prime technique for zander and perch, fully benefits from the blank's sensitivity to detect characteristic "knock" touches. The zig-zag animation, with releases and sharp pulls, is executed with precision thanks to the progressive action of the rod.
The Savage Gear Revenge SG2 Vertical is a high-end casting rod for demanding vertical fishing. Its ultra-sensitive high modulus carbon blank, its reel seat integrated directly into the carbon, its premium SeaGuide rings, and its powerful progressive action make it an exceptional tool for all passionate vertical fishing enthusiasts seeking performance, sensitivity, and reliability in a ultra-light and manageable format.
