Savage Gear Salmonoid SG2 Inline Trolling Rod

The Savage Gear Salmonoid SG2 Inline Trolling rod is a highly specialized tool designed for high-performance trolling, excelling with downriggers, Dipsy Divers, and paravanes in both freshwater and saltwater environments. It is engineered with a parabolic action for optimal feel and cushion against the sudden shocks of a salmon strike.

Key Specifications:

Features for Dedicated Trolling:

• Inline Design: The lack of traditional guides reduces line friction and eliminates guide failure, making the rod extremely durable and reliable for heavy-duty trolling.
• Parabolic Action: This feature is crucial for trolling rods. The deep, full-curve action provides excellent cushioning against the fierce, sudden runs of salmon, preventing shock breaks and reducing hook pulls.
• Perfect Balance: The rod is perfectly balanced for the optimal feel, allowing the angler to detect changes in lure action or subtle takes, even when using heavy trolling gear.
• Durable Components: Built to withstand the toughest fishing in rough conditions, the rod is equipped with heavy-duty components designed for longevity:
  • Tip Guide: Features a 2-piece SeaGuide ITHT tip guide (Inline Heavy Trolling), which is a robust exit guide specifically designed for inline rods.
  • Reel Seat: Equipped with a Strong DPS reel seat to securely lock down large trolling reels.
  • Butt Section: Includes an X Gimbal (usually a rounded or cross-shaped fitting on the butt cap) for locking into a fighting belt or rod holder, ensuring maximum security and leverage.

Ideal Applications:

• Trolling for Salmon, Trout, or Lake Trout using downriggers, Dipsy Divers, or planer boards.
• Any heavy-duty boat fishing where durability and a powerful parabolic action are preferred.
