Savage Gear Exorus C3000HG 280g 45.4kg 93cm 6.2:1

Savage Gear Exorus C3000HG — High-speed power for big predators

The Exorus C3000HG delivers aggressive retrieve speed and maximum drag pressure in a mid-size body. With 93 cm retrieve per turn and 45.4 kg of stopping power, this reel handles everything from hard-pulling crankbaits to heavy pike and zander.

Built for abuse

The K-Alloy body and GRC (Glass Reinforced Composite) rotor create a rigid, lightweight platform that won't flex under load. Seven sealed stainless steel bearings run on Dura Grease and Dura Oil for smooth, corrosion-resistant operation even after repeated exposure to water and sand. The one-piece handle design eliminates play and wobble during high-speed cranking.

Sealed drag you can trust

The Friction Control System 3 V2 features hydro-sealed carbon drag washers that deliver consistent pressure from first run to boat-side. The front drag is fully sealed against spray and dunking, so performance stays predictable whether you're fighting your first fish or your fiftieth. 45.4 kg max drag gives you the authority to stop big pike in heavy cover.
