I have this rod and it is my favorite! It has a soft but not too soft action so I use it for jigg fishing and spin fishing (cast weights up to 12g) for perch, pike and zander. I have a Shimano Stradic4+ 1000 with Berkley Fireline 0,08mm braided line with a Berkley Flouro Carbon tip 0,30mm). The only problem is that I miss hooking a few larger zander but it is ok for me. I also have westin and g-loomis rods but use this the most. Another Savage Gear rod I bought but have not tried yet is a 0-5g 6'6"... Biggest fish I have landed on this rod is a 5kg pike. Love Savage Gear!
Really good video, convinced me into buying the rod, but the 9-32 gram and I have a lot of fun with it, definetley the best rod for light and medium fishing that I have tried.
I’ve got a Savage Gear hitch hiker 5-20g and find that behaves much like that rod. Great fun and so light to use, with backbone should you hook a bigger fish. Casts soft and hard lures further than my old Abu 9ft spinning rod.
Hey! Great Video and great Review of this Rod. After i watched it , i ordered this Rod also combind with a Shimano Stradic ci4 1000 and i got it today. I had 1 hour for testing and got a bass today.... perfect rod!!!! Nice Action
Awesome video. I live in Australia and thats my favourite rod, I use it from feisty Australian bass to Powerful GT's and tailor in the estuaries. very nice rod. Handles the fish really well 👍
Hi guys I own all series of the black savage rods. They are ready great except 20-60 gram. Tip snap on 3 rods and ones the rod snap just about the handle when I was fighting 16 pounds pike.... I would really recommend this rods to anyone form an experience anglerssame as to beginners... this series of the rods are great combo with the new okuma helios sx reels for 2-7 g rod sx20 and for 10-32g sx30 !!!! The drag of the reels is just fantastic same as on shimano or expensive daiwa reels !!! Hard to beat !!!🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
i was going to buy the 2,50 meters 20-60 for bluefish, is it that bad? im disappointed because it is such a beautiful rod... (ps: english is not my main language)
Denis Vojtáš nazdar prosim ta vedel by si mi poradit ci je tento prut vhodny na jalcov/pstruhov/bolenov s voblermi? Vacsinou chytam len na voblerov a jigom sa moc nevenujem kedze mam miesta skor na voblery vdaka. S pozdravom Marian 😉
perfekna udicka ma riecny privlac. sam ju vlastnim a vytiahlo to aj 60ku zubaca. dokonca na rieke morava 50cm bolen.vydrzi toho dost...odhodi bez problemou do 10-12g. 15g.pri dlhsom odhode uz robi problem.vrelo odporucam.da sa pouzit tiez ako mala udicka na plavacik :-) zabavna udicka.
elvisbordello sorry it’s only taken 3 years to get back to you! I’d missed your message! Doh! Anyway yes since then I’ve had some great scraps with chub with it. ☺️👍🏼
joe hallam not exactly small. I’m using 1000 reel on this rod and works awesome. The only difference is the fact that i,ve got the 2-12 rod and i’m very happy with this
Albota andrei sorry for the late reply. I use a lot of soft plastics but also small crankbaits like the savage gear one in the video and also the Fox funkbug lures. 😊👍🏼
Can't believe I just found out about these rods. Matt black rods... genius! Does this rod have any recommended line test? Been thinking about importing one from the UK and would hate to damage it!
Hi there! I would recommend using braid up to around 8lb. They are great little rods with plenty of power further down in the blank so you'll be hard pushed to damage it. All the best. Jay & crew
Altairs007 Hi Michael, the 5-21g is quite light for pike as I would normally recommend the 10-31g. However as long as you play the fish well the 5-21g should be fine and give you some great sport. If you are going after the Wels catfish I would go for a much heavier rod. Hope that helps. Tight lines. Jay. ☺️🎣👍🏼
Hey m8 , i just bought the rod tnx to you :D Cant wait new season to start :D so my last 2 question. Lets say like this...size 1000 shimano , or 2500 shimano( for better cast) ? and 2nd question is. Mono or Braid for better feeling? :) thank you

Great Video and nice fish. :) I bought this rod yesterday. Nice to see this 👌😊
Great rods for ULF...got one, hooked on it!!!

I enjoyed that, would have been better to see the Bait and set up just quickly, rod is great have one myself. Thanks Jay.
MadLad Oye glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your comments I shall bear that in mind for future films. ☺️👍🏼
Fantastic film
Cleaning Services Makaron LTD Glad you enjoyed it. ☺️👍🏼
please say the names of the music in the background?
Hi Jay, great video, quick question , whats the name of Gopro mount on your back?
Hi Lucasz, it's one I made myself. :-)
wow, great video! i was just thinking of purchasing this rod. hooked any big chubs in the meanwhile?
elvisbordello sorry it’s only taken 3 years to get back to you! I’d missed your message! Doh! Anyway yes since then I’ve had some great scraps with chub with it. ☺️👍🏼
great video mate. what do you think to putting a 1000 size ultron on there? too small?
joe hallam not exactly small. I’m using 1000 reel on this rod and works awesome. The only difference is the fact that i,ve got the 2-12 rod and i’m very happy with this
Hello,great video. Can you tell us more about lures,what do you use? Apreciate
Albota andrei sorry for the late reply. I use a lot of soft plastics but also small crankbaits like the savage gear one in the video and also the Fox funkbug lures. 😊👍🏼
Very nice video m8 :)
+Joowke 1990 Thanks very much, glad you like it.
What is name of that thing that is mounted action camera behind you?
Kot FishingTV it's a camera mount that I made myself for the GoPro camera.
Cracking video............SOLD!
Thanks Nige. :-)
+Hooked GB Rood is good ?
What’s the reel
Can't believe I just found out about these rods. Matt black rods... genius! Does this rod have any recommended line test? Been thinking about importing one from the UK and would hate to damage it!
Hi there! I would recommend using braid up to around 8lb. They are great little rods with plenty of power further down in the blank so you'll be hard pushed to damage it. All the best. Jay & crew
I use the exact same rod with 5.9 kg test nanofil for fairly light dropshoting. It’s my absolute fave. The finish is delicious. 😋
Nice review, thanks!
Whats the lenght? 7,4"?
6'6"
Thinking of buying the spin 7,5' 5-20g rod. is it to soft for jerk you think?
Hi There, sorry for such a late reply. Yes I would it's too soft. You need a faster action rod.
Thanks!!!No comment...
👏👏👏👏👏
Hi
I have a Savage Gear Finezze 5-21g.
Is it a good rod for pikes and catfish ? There is also 10-31g version but its so stiff.
Regards Michael
Altairs007 Hi Michael, the 5-21g is quite light for pike as I would normally recommend the 10-31g. However as long as you play the fish well the 5-21g should be fine and give you some great sport. If you are going after the Wels catfish I would go for a much heavier rod. Hope that helps. Tight lines. Jay. ☺️🎣👍🏼
I used to catch pike with a 0-3.5g rod. Very fun. A bit like fighting a bear with a teaspoon. 😅
the bend on the rod for that fish
Anime4 LaijFuh Great little rod. ☺️👍🏼
Hey m8 , i just bought the rod tnx to you :D Cant wait new season to start :D so my last 2 question. Lets say like this...size 1000 shimano , or 2500 shimano( for better cast) ? and 2nd question is. Mono or Braid for better feeling? :) thank you
Tnx :) i got shimano stradic fk1000hg + sunline pe8 6 lb braid :) Very good combo :))
Marko Jovic - would you still recommend this set up?
@@lewishalstead1915 Yes ofc :) Its great
It has solit tip or tubular tip?
Tubular
Are these rods strong enough for a big pike?
Humour Fishing to be honest I would say they are a little soft for pike but that’s just my humble opinion. ☺️
What are those cylindrical things in your vest? Wearing that would probably get you shot at an airport.
Lol yes you do look a bit dodgy. it's actually the Savage Gear Lure Belt. I don't think they make them anymore possibly for that reason! Lol.
Would the Okuma trio srs 20 fd reel suit this rod...
Hi There, yes that should compliment it very nicely. Great little reels. :-)
what line were you using thanks..
hi Sorry for the late reply. I had the reel loaded with 12lb Fox Jig silk. Fantastic smooth braid. :-)
Is this rod in the 5-20g good for jigging?
Macho Pizza Hi there. Personally I would say it’s too soft for jigging.
Amazon Video! What Reel do you Use?
Simon Schmidt think itz the fox rage ultron
HI there, yes Jesse is right it is the Fox Rage Ultron 2500. :-)
Hooked GB awesome got the 3500 myself☺
Think I had ultron 1000
what was lure at the start?
if you look for the Savage Gear Micro prey 1.7g. you can get them is quite a few different patterns. :-)
thank you :)
hi from germany
Makenoeye Tilterino hi there! 😎👍🏼
It 's not for the first time i have heard of savage gear failing rods,lures etc.
I will buy this rod,is good ? And name of reel?
Hi yes the rod is a very nice rod. The reel is a Fox Rage Ultron 2500. I have it loaded with 250 yards of 6.2KG Fox jig silk braid.
+Hooked GB Thanks,I buy 5-20gr rod...what you think...good for troutu,no broke ?
5-20g will be a good all round rod for trout, perch, chub but will also have enough power if you hook into a good sized pike. :-)
+Hooked GB Thanks
ultra light rods are rods from 0-5 g. 0-10 gram are light rods.
I don’t think there’s a consensus on this. I think 2-7 grams is within UL range. As long as max weight is below 10 grams. Imo.
