Savage Gear Exorus C5000HG 345g 6.8kg 103cm 6.2:1

Savage Gear Exorus C5000HG – Built for Big Predators

The C5000HG is Savage Gear's high-speed workhorse for demanding pike, zander, and inshore applications. Engineered to handle extreme loads with a robust K-Alloy body and GRC rotor, this spinning reel delivers 103 cm retrieve per turn and a sealed 6.8 kg carbon drag system that won't quit when trophy fish are on the line.

Bulletproof Construction Meets Smooth Performance

The K-Alloy body and glass-reinforced composite rotor form a rigid, lightweight platform that absorbs punishment season after season. Seven sealed stainless steel bearings (6+1) combined with Dura Grease and Dura Oil lubrication ensure silky-smooth cranking even when retrieving large crankbaits or fighting hard-pulling fish. The Friction Control System 3 V2 features hydro-sealed carbon drag washers that deliver consistent pressure without hesitation.

High-Speed Retrieve for Aggressive Techniques

With a 6.2:1 gear ratio and 103 cm line pickup per turn, the C5000HG excels at fast presentations and rapid line recovery. The tapered aluminum spool lip maximizes casting distance while preventing wind knots, and the rubberized power knob provides secure grip during extended sessions. One-piece handle design eliminates flex, giving you direct control when setting hooks or pumping big fish.
