Savage Gear Reel SGS 8 Saltwater Reel
With great anticipation we've awaited them: The spinning reels from Savage Gear. Finally, the tackle forge has its own range of reels, which perfectly completes the rod arsenal of the brand. And the SG series proves perfectly that Savage Gear does not just build "any" 0815 reels off the shelf. Back to the drawing board and putting all heads together was the name of the game, and it paid off. Savage Gear's reels are packed with technical features and industry-leading technology. The quality, as we've come to expect from Savage Gear, leaves nothing to be desired. To prove how much Savage Gear believes in their own reels they offer a 5-year warranty! In addition to the well thought-out features, the series also covers a broad field of price ranges and applications, so that every angler - regardless of budget - can find the right Savage Gear reel for their own purposes.
When it comes to the biggest predators of the seas, we should not compromise on the equipment, this is especially true for the reels. The SGS8 from Savage Gear is designed for just such applications. It combines incredible performance with light weight and a very attractive price. Housing and handle are made of sturdy aluminum, while the rotor is made of a carbon reinforced composite material. A mixture of materials, which is absolutely torsion and salt water resistant. This has been proven by the merciless endurance tests! In addition, the reel was treated with a special SW500 coating, which protects the reel sustainably from salt water.
The aluminum handle is screwed into the gear wheel without wobbling and transmits the rotational force directly to the gear. The 8+1 stainless steel ball bearings ensure smooth running, even under the toughest conditions. The ball bearings are also completely sealed and protected from external influences. The proprietary DuraGrease provides long-term protection of the gear against corrosion and wear, even under the toughest conditions. The Fricton Control System 3 is also completely sealed and perfectly protected from external influences. This drag system is based on 3-layer drag washers: A fiberglass washer coated on both sides with carbon fiber. This makes the discs particularly stiff and robust, and can even be reversed to extend the service life. The drag washers produce incredible drag force, which can be very finely adjusted, but produces impressive fish-stopping-power with tensions up to over 20 kg. Perfect, for the toughest saltwater use when going after big Tuna, Giant Trevally, Rooster Fish or other tropical giants.
In short, the SGS 8 is Savage Gear's perfect balancing act between uncompromising performance, outstanding durability and lightness. These reels were made for the very toughest saltwater use without costing a fortune. Hard to beat when it comes to price-performance.
