It is specified for freshwater predator fishing with medium to heavy softbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and crankbaits. Choose it for that lure class rather than an ultralight setup. The supplier does not state a numerical casting-weight range or saltwater suitability.
The 5.6:1 version retrieves 70 cm per turn, while the 7.3:1 version retrieves 91 cm. Choose 5.6:1 for less line recovery at the same winding pace, or 7.3:1 for faster recovery and quicker slack pickup. Both ratios are available with either handle side.
Left is the left-hand retrieve version and Right is the right-hand retrieve version. Choose the side you want to wind with. Handedness does not change the stated weight, capacity or drag, and both gear ratios offer both sides.
Every version holds 320 m of 0.28 mm monofilament and has a maximum drag of 13 kg. Use that diameter-specific capacity when planning your line load. A separate braid capacity is not supplied, so the same length should not be assumed for a different line diameter or type.

The Savage Gear SG8 300 is a low-profile baitcasting reel for freshwater predator fishing with medium to heavy softbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and crankbaits. Its one-piece aluminium frame provides rigidity when casting and playing fish. The supplier names pike, zander, perch and trout among its intended species.
Both gear ratios come in left-hand and right-hand versions. Choose Left to wind with your left hand or Right to wind with your right hand. The 5.6:1 version retrieves 70 cm per handle turn, making it the slower option for a measured retrieve. The 7.3:1 version retrieves 91 cm per turn, taking up slack more quickly and retrieving faster at the same winding pace. Choose by how much line you want to recover per turn, not by reel size, which is 300 throughout the range.
All four versions weigh 245 g, hold 320 m of 0.28 mm monofilament and have a maximum drag of 13 kg. The capacity figure refers to monofilament at that diameter, not a stated braid capacity.
An external centrifugal brake controls spool speed during casting. The non-loss tension knob allows tension adjustment without losing the knob. EVA handle knobs provide the contact points for winding, while Line-ID helps identify the line loaded on the reel. A drag clicker provides audible feedback when line is pulled against the drag.
The aluminium frame and side plates have an EDP-painted finish. A separate stainless reel seat provides the mounting interface. DuraGrease supports smooth operation, and the reel uses 7+1 steel bearings, including two Japanese bearings. A brass worm shaft is part of the line-laying mechanism. These features complement the rigid frame for repeated casting and retrieving with heavier predator lures.
