Savage designed the Squad series to deliver unmatched strength, performance, and features without a big price tag. The Squad Musky Casting Rod derives its power from a 24-ton high-modulus carbon blank, built to handle the demands of targeting powerful fish. Anglers will appreciate Savage Gear's 1DFR Tip Reinforcement Technology, which strengthens the rod's upper third to minimize the risk of tip damage during intense battles or accidental high-sticking. Equipped with stainless-steel tangle-free guides featuring SiC (silicon carbide) inserts, this rod is ready for the challenges of musky fishing. Savage Gear is for anglers who live the savage lifestyle. Relentlessly pursuing the challenging bite and going where others won't. Wading, kayaking and sawing their way into waters where the biggest and toughest fish hide. This is the heart of Savage Gear. Big Adventure. Big Fish. Nothing else counts.
