Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Predator anglers fishing softbaits and jig heads. The crisp tip helps you feel the lure working, keep contact with the bottom and react quickly to tentative takes.
- Mobile lure anglers who fish canals, rivers and reservoirs. The two-piece build, light feel and choice of lengths make it easy to tailor the rod to tight swims, open banks or longer casts.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a soft, tippy rod. The extra-fast action is direct and positive, but it won’t have the gentle cushion of a slower, more progressive blank.
- Anyone who rarely fishes lures. The sharper response and specialist predator set-up may be more than you need for occasional general spinning.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Savage Gear SG6 Medium Game Spinning Rod
The Savage Gear Revenge SG6 Medium Game is aimed squarely at the lure angler who wants one sharp, responsive rod for a good spread of predator work. It’s not trying to be a lazy, do-it-all float rod. This is a proper contact tool for softbaits, hard lures and all the busy stuff that happens between the cast and the take.
The big thing here is choice. The range comes in lengths from 7ft right through to 10ft 6in, with casting ratings from 7-25g up to 15-45g. That means you can pick a compact model for canals, little rivers and close-quarters work, or step up in length when you want extra casting distance and better line control.
Just make sure you check the exact model before buying, mate. A 7ft rod rated to 7-25g is a very different tool from a 10ft 6in version rated to 15-45g. Both sit under the same Medium Game name, but they’ll suit different lures, venues and fishing styles. Match the rod to your lure box and you’ll be laughing.
All versions use a two-piece blank, which keeps transport fairly painless. That’s handy when you’re walking the bank, squeezing through a bit of riverside jungle or chucking the kit in the car alongside a mountain of tackle you definitely didn’t need. Transport lengths run from roughly 110cm to 138cm, depending on the model.
The blank is built from Japanese Torayca 30/40T carbon, with Savage Gear’s 4X Wrap Carbon reinforcement. In plain English, the aim is a light, responsive build with extra strength through the blank. Rods like this are made to transmit what’s going on at the lure end, whether that’s a tiny tick off a hard bottom or a proper thump from a following fish.
Its extra-fast action is the headline feature. The tip responds quickly, which is bang on for working a jig, popping a softbait over weed or giving a twitch bait a little cheeky dart. It also helps when you need to hit a take quickly, especially when a fish grabs the lure on the drop or turns away at the boat.
That same directness won’t suit everyone. If you love a soft, forgiving rod that bends deep and cushions every head shake, this may feel a bit sharp. The extra-fast action is more about control and feedback than leisurely playing fish. Use a sensible clutch setting and don’t try to bully everything like it owes you money.
The fittings are nicely chosen for this sort of work. You get SeaGuide CCS stainless-steel guides with SiN rings, a Fuji reel seat and a premium cork handle. Those details matter when you’re casting repeatedly for hours. A comfortable grip, reliable reel connection and clean line flow all help keep the faff down when the rods are off and you’re properly in the zone.
Technique-wise, the Revenge SG6 Medium Game covers a lot of ground. Use the lighter variants for perch-sized lures, smaller softbaits and finesse-leaning work. Move into the heavier 15-45g territory for bigger bladed jigs, stronger vibration baits and more substantial predator presentations. The supplied competition-ready rod bag is a nice finishing touch, too, keeping the rod protected between sessions.

Our take
Why the fast blank matters
This rod is all about direct contact. The Japanese Torayca 30/40T carbon blank and 4X Wrap Carbon reinforcement are aimed at keeping the build light, responsive and strong. That makes it a good fit for anglers who like to stay busy, rather than lob a lure out and wait.
The range covers 7ft through to 10ft 6in, with casting weights from 7-25g up to 15-45g depending on the model. So don’t just grab one because it says Medium Game on the sleeve. Match the length and lure rating to your venues, species and usual box of tricks.
Build and action
A direct, lively rod for active lure work
The Revenge SG6 Medium Game is built around a Japanese Torayca 30/40T carbon blank with 4X Wrap Carbon reinforcement. That combination is intended to keep the rod light and lively while adding strength through the blank. Across the range, rod weights are approximately 121g to 157g, depending on length and casting rating.
The extra-fast action gives the tip a quick response. That’s useful when you’re hopping a softbait, steering a lure through weed or trying to feel exactly what’s happening at the business end. It also gives you a fast connection when a predator turns and the hook needs driving home.
SeaGuide CCS stainless-steel guides with SiN rings, a Fuji reel seat and premium cork keep the rest of the package nicely sorted. It’s finished as a fishing tool rather than a flashy shelf piece, and the two-piece layout makes it much easier to get to the venue without a comedy-length rod sticking out of the car.
Worth knowing. The range has a broad spread of models. Check the exact length, lure rating and transport length before ordering. The right model will feel spot on; the wrong one can leave your lures sitting outside the rod’s sweet spot.
On the bank
Pick the version around your water and lures
Shorter models make sense on canals, small rivers and snaggy margins where accuracy matters more than launching a lure into the next county. A 7ft or 7ft 3in rod is easier to flick around overhanging branches and gives you good control in tight swims.
For reservoirs, larger rivers and open banks, the longer versions can help with distance and line management. A longer rod also gives you more control when keeping line off the surface or steering a lure over weed. Just remember that extra length can be a faff in cramped swims.
The casting range should be your main buying check. Lighter models suit smaller softbaits, jig heads and compact hard lures, while the heavier options are better when your box contains bigger vibration baits, spinnerbaits and bladed jigs. Keep the working weight sensible and the action will feel much more controlled.
Worth knowing. For pike, pair the rod with suitable bite protection. A fast blank is no substitute for a proper wire or bite-resistant trace when sharp teeth are in the equation.
Quick answers
The useful bits before you buy
Yes, within the lure range of the model you choose. It’s especially well suited to anglers who like to stay active, change retrieves and fish with plenty of contact. It’s less ideal if you want one rod to cover very soft, delicate presentations and heavier lure work at the same time.
Not really, but it does reward a tidy style. Keep your casts smooth, avoid overloading the blank and use the reel clutch properly. The rod is direct rather than difficult, and that crisp feel is a big part of its appeal.
The rod is supplied with a competition-ready rod bag. All listed models are two-piece, with transport lengths roughly between 110cm and 138cm depending on the version.

01Which Savage Gear Revenge SG6 Medium Game model should I choose?
Which Savage Gear Revenge SG6 Medium Game model should I choose?
For tight venues and accurate short-range work, look towards the shorter models. Longer versions help with casting distance, line control and keeping the line clear of bankside clutter. Match the casting range to the lures you actually use, not the biggest lure you might throw once in a blue moon.
02What lures is this rod designed for?
What lures is this rod designed for?
It’s designed for softbaits, vibration baits, spinnerbaits, bladed jigs and twitch baits. The correct lure range depends on the exact model, with variants running from 7-25g to 15-45g.
03Is it suitable for pike and perch fishing?
Is it suitable for pike and perch fishing?
It’s a predator rod and can suit different pike and perch approaches, provided the chosen model matches your lure size and tackle. For pike, use a proper wire or bite-resistant trace where required; the rod itself doesn’t replace that essential bit of kit.
