Savage Gear SG8 250 Baitcast Reel 6.6:1 Right

Savage Gear SG8 250 – Built for Precision Casting and Power

The Savage Gear SG8 250 baitcasting reel combines a rigid one-piece aluminium frame with smooth 8-bearing performance, delivering the control and strength you need for targeting pike, zander, bass, and even perch and trout.

Engineered for Durability and Smoothness

The one-piece aluminium frame and EDP-painted side plates create a robust, rigid platform that won't flex under pressure. Eight steel ball bearings—including two Japanese bearings—work together with proprietary DuraGrease lubrication to ensure consistent, reliable operation season after season. The brass worm shaft and dragclicker system give you precise control when fighting hard-running predators.

Versatile Casting Performance

Whether you're working light softbaits and crankbaits or stepping up to larger soft lures and jerkbaits, the external centrifugal brake system lets you dial in your casting settings quickly and accurately. The 6.6:1 gear ratio retrieves 70 cm per turn, offering a balanced speed for a wide range of techniques. Flat TPE soft-touch handle knobs provide comfortable grip during extended sessions, while the Line-ID feature helps you track your line at a glance.

Choose the Right Variant

The SG8 250 series offers four configurations to match your preferred hand position and retrieve speed:

• SG8 250 RH 6.6:1 (this model) – Right-hand retrieve, 70 cm per turn, balanced for versatile lure work and general predator fishing

• SG8 250 LH 6.6:1 – Left-hand retrieve, 70 cm per turn, same balanced ratio for anglers who prefer left-hand cranking
