Introduction:
The first thing most anglers think about when they think Savage Gear is
baits, and most likely the company's 3D scanned swimbaits or wild topwater lures
like the Suicide Duck. This season the company is expanding into rods with their
new Browser Series which is designed to tackle a wide range of applications
while offering enhanced durability and value to anglers.
Savage Gear introduces a new
series of fishing rods
Expanding into rods: Savage Gear continues
to grow as a brand globally, and while they were already quite well known
throughout Europe the line has now become a globally recognized brand thanks to
a combination of 3D scanned baits and a strong partnership with Okuma.
Ever
since the Savage Gear brand was introduced in the Americas they have been on a
roll, even winning many ICAST Best of Show Awards.
As their lineup of unique baits
has grown the team decided it was time to introduce a new series of rods
designed to offer anglers a refined, powerful, sensitive, and yet reasonably
priced option.
The new rods feature split grip
designs
Meet the Browser: Interesting name for a
new line of rods, the Savage Gear Browser Series was designed with input from
the company's prostaff to deliver plenty of strength without sacrificing feel.
They wanted to design a rod that handled well, and felt crisp, even on the most
powerful models which are designed to launch their largest baits.
The Browser Series consists of
fourteen new rods covering everything from finesse to big bait applications
The backbone to the Browser rods consists of a
carbon blank with a special tip process Savage Gear calls 1DRF. This process
blends unidirectional fiber over 24-ton carbon in the extended tip section of
the rod with the goal of increasing lifting strength and power by as much as
400%.
The company explained that the
1DRF technology helps deliver excellent strength without negatively impacting
sensitivity so that anglers can feel even the lightest of bites.
The most interesting element of
these new rods is the 1DRF design that blend unidirectional fiber over 24-ton
carbon in the extended tip section of the rod to significantly increase
durability, lifting strength, and power
“The Browser series of rods
has been something we were designing and working on for some time,” stated Mike
Bennett, Savage Gear USA Product Development Manager. “These rods have been
refined and whittled down to the exact specifications we were looking for and
designed for those who dare to catch bigger fish.”
The rod handles are a combination
of aggressively styled EVA foam and composite cork
