Savage Gear SGS8 5000 FD 8+1 BB Saltwater reel. Tough saltwater fishing environments demand tough fishing tackle. Savage Gear SGS8 reel with a unique, complete SW500 coating that easily withstand 500 hours of being sprayed with saltwater in testing. The reel is saltwater resistant in other ways too, including its sealed 8+1 steel ball bearings, sealed drag system and lightweight and strong aluminium body and Carbon Reinforced Composite rotor. Being able to withstand constant saltwater onslaughts isn’t this reel’s only quality, though. It also features our Friction Control System 3 drag system, which houses washers made in a three-layer design – a fibreglass layer with a carbon fibre layer on either side. This gives the washers unrivalled stiffness resulting in an ultra-smooth and powerful, fish-stopping drag – it also means they can be flipped over and used on either side to extend their lifespan.
