Savage Gear's SG2 platform covers a wide range of lure fishing disciplines, and the Revenge SG2 Heavy Game is the range's mid-tier offering for anglers working bigger lures at pike and larger predators. It sits between the lighter SG2 game variants and the more powerful SG2 Power Game, covering the 25-80g lure weight bracket that accounts for most heavy pike lure fishing in the UK.
The blank is built from a 24+30T dual-modulus carbon mix with a fast action, meaning it bends primarily in the upper section for quick tip recovery when working big shads, spinnerbaits and metal spoons. SeaGuide CCS stainless steel guides with SiN ring inserts handle both mono and braid cleanly, and a double lock reel seat uses two collars to keep the reel foot secure during repeated heavy casts.
Two lengths are available in the standard two-piece version: 221cm covering 25-70g at 173g rod weight, and 259cm covering 30-80g at 193g. Both come with a competition rod sleeve included. A four-piece Travel version in similar lengths is also produced as a separate product for anglers who need a shorter pack-down.
the Heavy Game sits in the mid-tier of the UK heavy lure rod market.
| Lengths | 7ft |
| Feature | What this means |
|---|---|
| Blank: 24+30T High Modulus Carbon, Fast Action | A two-modulus carbon construction using both 24T and 30T carbon fibre in the blank. Fast action means the rod bends primarily in the upper section rather than throughout the blank, which translates to quick tip recovery and precise lure control when working big shads, spinnerbaits and spoons. |
| Guides: SeaGuide CCS Stainless Steel with SiN Rings | SeaGuide CCS frames with SiN (Silicon Nitride) ring inserts. SiN is a hard, smooth ring material compatible with braid mainlines and designed to handle the friction and heat generated by casting heavy lures repeatedly. SeaGuide is an established guide brand used across a wide range of lure and predator rods. |
| Reel Seat: Double Lock | A double lock reel seat uses two locking collars rather than one to secure the reel foot. This reduces the chance of the reel working loose during repeated heavy casts and long sessions, which is more of a concern on powerful lure rods than on lighter setups. |
| Casting Weight: 30-80g | Stated Applications: Soft Lures, Hard Lures, Spinnerbaits, Spoons | The 30-80g range covers medium-heavy to heavy lure work, including large shads for pike, heavy spinnerbaits and metal spoons. Savage Gear describe it as suited to outmuscling bigger fish and targeting species that require sustained pressure to land safely. |
| Available Models: 221cm (25-70g, 173g) / 259cm (30-80g, 193g) | 2-Piece | Rod Sleeve Included | Two lengths in the standard 2-piece version. The 221cm at 173g is the shorter, lighter option for more versatile use. The 259cm at 193g gives extra reach for longer casts and more leverage when fishing larger venues or targeting fish at distance. Both come with a rod sleeve. A Travel version in 4 pieces is also available separately. |
