A great example of the way Savage Gear built these reels from scratch with nothing “off the shelf”, the SG8 is a feature-packed monster constructed with a strong, stiff and lightweight Carbon Reinforced Composite (CRC) body and rotor. Excellent and long-lasting performance is guaranteed thanks to a sealed Friction Control drag system that uses carbon fiber washers, which deliver unrivalled stiffness, smoothness and fish-stopping power.

An impressive 10+1 stainless steel ball bearings (including two Japanese ball bearings) ensure reliable performance even under heavy use. It also has many characteristics that make it a pleasure to use, such a T-shaped line grip, non-slip spool eliminating the need to use mono backing and an ergonomic EVA handle. All the innovative thinking you’ve come to expect from Savage Gear has been poured into this reel – it will quickly become an extension of you.
