Savage Gear Fury SG2 Boat 2.13m 20-30lb 2pcs

If you are looking for the Goldilocks of boat rodsnot too heavy for the fun stuff, but not too light when a clunker cod decides to show upthe Savage Gear Fury SG2 Boat 20-30lb is your perfect match. Here at Gerrys Fishing, we consider the 20-30lb class to be the ultimate all-rounder for UK waters. Its sensitive enough to enjoy a day of scratching for rays and bream, but has the technical backbone to stop a double-figure pollack from diving back into the rusted iron of a wreck.

Product Details & Uses

The Fury SG2 Boat is built on a high-performance 24/30T carbon blank, which is the secret behind its strong yet lightweight feel. In the world of boat fishing, a rod that is too heavy will kill your arms by midday; this blank ensures you stay fresh and responsive. The moderate-fast action provides a massive reservoir of power in the butt section, while the forgiving tip is specifically engineered to handle the zero-stretch nature of modern braided lines. This cushioning effect is vital for preventing hook pulls when a fish makes a violent run right next to the boat.

At 2.13m (7ft), it offers the ideal leverage for vertical jigging and bait fishing alike. Its fitted with a strong DPS reel seat and an X Gimbal, making it compatible with fighting belts for those longer battles. As a 2-piece rod, it balances the seamless action of a single-piece blank with the convenience of easy transport to the marina or on a flight to the fjords.

Prime Locations & Uses:

• General UK Wrecking: The go-to choice for working 150g300g shads and lures for specimen pollack, coalfish, and cod.

• Inshore Reefs & Banks: Perfect for targeting large bass, rays, and smoothhounds where you need a mix of sensitivity and grunt.

• Light Nordic Fishing: An excellent light outfit for Norway when you arent targeting 100lb halibut, but focusing on big cod and coalfish in the fjords.

• Bait Fishing: Its sensitive tip makes it a brilliant rod for uptiding or down-tiding with natural baits for species like tope or large rays.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The 20-30lb Fury is the Swiss Army Knife of boat rods. If you only take one rod on a charter boat, make it this one. My advice? Pair it with a high-quality multiplier reel and 30lb40lb braid. Because the tip is so forgiving, you can actually feel the seabed through the braid without the rod bouncing too much in a swell. Its a rod that makes you look like a better angler than you probably areand we wont tell anyone otherwise!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I use this rod for Halibut in Norway?

A: Yes, for smaller to medium-sized Halibut (up to 40-50lb), this rod is a joy to use and offers a very sporting fight. However, if you are specifically hunting the 100lb+ barn doors, we would recommend stepping up to the 30-50lb Fury model for that extra lifting power.

Q: Is this rod suitable for fixed-spool (spinning) reels?

A: No, this rod is designed specifically for multiplier or baitcasting reels. The guide configuration and the DPS reel seat are positioned to work with a reel that sits on top of the blank, ensuring the line doesnt rub against the carbon under heavy load.

Q: Why a 2-piece design instead of a 1-piece?

A: Modern carbon technology means a 2-piece joint no longer creates a flat spot in the rods action. The 2-piece design makes it significantly easier to transport in a car boot or a rod tube for travel, without sacrificing an ounce of strength.

Q: What is the benefit of the 24/30T carbon?

A: Its a blend of high-modulus carbons that allows the rod to be thinner and lighter without becoming brittle. It gives the rod a crisp feel that recovers quickly after a cast or a strike, which is exactly what you want when jigging in deep water.
