The 6.6:1 versions retrieve 70 cm per turn, while the 8.1:1 versions retrieve 85 cm. Choose 8.1:1 for faster line pickup at the same winding cadence or 6.6:1 for the slower retrieve. Both have the same 195 g weight, 9 kg maximum drag and line capacity.
It is specified for freshwater predator fishing with light softbaits and crankbaits through medium to heavy lures such as larger soft lures and jerkbaits. Pike, bass, zander, perch and trout are named. No numerical casting-weight range is provided, so the evidence does not establish a precise minimum or maximum lure weight.
Choose Left if you want to wind with your left hand and Right if you want to wind with your right. Both handle positions are available with either gear ratio, so you can select your winding hand independently of retrieve speed.
Every size 250 version holds 180 m of 0.25 mm monofilament and has an external centrifugal casting brake. This gives a common capacity reference across the family and allows casting-brake adjustment from outside the reel. The internal brake and hinged side plate mentioned for size 100 do not describe these size 250 variants.

The Savage Gear SG8 in size 250 is a low-profile baitcasting reel for freshwater predator fishing. Its rigid, one-piece aluminium frame supports the mechanism under load, while an external centrifugal brake lets you adjust casting control. It covers light softbaits and crankbaits as well as medium to heavy lures, including larger soft lures and jerkbaits. The supplier also names spoons for the right-hand versions. Intended species include pike, bass, zander, perch and trout. No numerical casting-weight range is supplied.
All four versions weigh 195 g, offer a maximum drag of 9 kg and hold 180 m of 0.25 mm monofilament. Both gear ratios are available with the handle on the left or right, so choose the side you want to wind with.
The 6.6:1 versions retrieve 70 cm per handle turn. They take up less line per turn than the 8.1:1 versions, making them the slower option at the same winding cadence. The 8.1:1 versions retrieve 85 cm per turn, useful for faster line pickup between lure movements. Choose by the retrieve pace you want rather than a difference in weight, capacity or maximum drag, which remain the same.
The size 250 has an externally adjustable centrifugal brake for casting control and a non-loss tension knob for tension adjustment. A drag clicker provides audible feedback when line is taken against the drag. Line-ID helps identify the line loaded on the reel when managing different setups.
The aluminium frame and side plates have an EDP coating, and the separate stainless-steel reel seat provides the mounting interface with a casting rod. The reel uses 7+1 steel ball bearings, including two Japanese bearings, together with DuraGrease lubrication for smooth operation. A brass worm shaft forms part of the line-lay mechanism. Flat TPE soft-touch handle knobs provide the contact surface for winding.
