Savage Gear Defiance SG6 Offshore Tuna is a series of powerful sea fishing rods designed for targeting tuna and other large saltwater predators with artificial lures. These rods have been developed for techniques such as popping, offshore spinning and cast jigging, where long casting distances, precise lure control and substantial power reserves are essential when fighting strong fish. The construction is suitable for fishing with poppers, large hard lures, soft lures and metal jigs. The powerful blank allows anglers to cast heavy lures over long distances while providing the sensitivity needed to detect lure movement and contact with fish. The Moderate Fast action combines the power required for casting and hook setting with progressive bending characteristics that help absorb the sudden runs of large saltwater predators.
Savage Gear Defiance SG6 Offshore Tuna rods feature blanks made from high modulus 24/30T carbon fibre, designed for long distance casting and demanding saltwater fishing conditions. They are equipped with Fuji SiC guides for smooth line movement and a Fuji reel seat. The durable EVA handle provides a secure grip when working lures actively and fighting powerful fish. The 1+1 construction combines a one piece working blank with a separately fitted handle section, maintaining strength and consistent bending characteristics. The rod is also supplied with a Deluxe transport bag, making it easier to store and protect the equipment when travelling to fishing locations.
The Savage Gear Defiance SG6 Offshore Tuna series includes a 2.49 m model with a casting weight of 30–200 g (1637134), designed for active fishing for large saltwater species from a boat. Its length allows anglers to cast poppers, hard lures and jigs over long distances, which is particularly useful when searching for feeding tuna and other predators in open water. The wide casting weight range allows the use of lures of different weights, while the powerful blank provides reliable control during lure retrieval and fish fighting. The rod features a Moderate Fast action, 1+1 construction and a weight of 345 g. Its transport length is 187 cm. Combining substantial power reserves, suitable sensitivity and a construction designed for long distance casting, Defiance SG6 Offshore Tuna is intended for demanding offshore spinning, popping and cast jigging techniques, particularly when targeting tuna in open sea conditions.
