Yes. The protective coating withstood five hours of saltwater spray testing, and the stainless steel bearings and carbon drag system are sealed. These features protect the reel during sea fishing, but the evidence does not establish that it can be submerged.
The 5000 weighs 387 g, retrieves 98 cm per turn and holds 190 m of 0.33 mm line. The 10000 weighs 622 g, retrieves 120 cm per turn and holds 350 m of 0.38 mm line. Both have a 5.7:1 ratio, with maximum drag of 12.5 kg and 13 kg respectively. Choose the 5000 for lower weight or the 10000 for greater capacity at the stated diameter and more line retrieved per turn.
The SGS8 is a saltwater spinning-reel family. The 5000 is explicitly described for active fishing with softbaits and hardbaits. The 10000 is described for both those lure types and natural bait, as well as pirking. For an explicitly supported natural-bait option, choose the 10000. No lure-weight limits are supplied.
Friction Control System 3 washers have a fibreglass centre with carbon fibre on both sides. Their stiff three-layer construction supports smooth, powerful drag. They can be flipped over to use the other side, extending their service life rather than using only one face.

The Savage Gear SGS8 is a saltwater spinning reel for lure fishing. Its protective coating, sealed 8+1 stainless steel bearings and sealed carbon drag system protect components exposed to saltwater. The 5000 is explicitly suitable for softbaits and hardbaits, while the 10000 also supports natural-bait fishing and is described as a pirking reel. FD (front drag) identifies the drag arrangement.
The supplier reports that the coating withstood five hours of saltwater spray testing. This supports saltwater resistance, not a claim that the reel can be submerged. The reel has a lightweight, strong aluminium body and a Carbon Reinforced Composite rotor. DuraGrease is used for lubrication.
Friction Control System 3 uses three-layer washers with a fibreglass centre and carbon fibre on both sides. Their stiffness supports smooth, powerful drag when a fish takes line. The double-sided washers can be turned over and used on the other side to extend their service life. The sealed carbon drag keeps the braking components protected during saltwater fishing.
A screw-in aluminium handle and CNC-machined round aluminium handle knob provide the hand contact point for retrieving. The permanent anti-reverse system prevents backward handle rotation. The reel also includes the Vantage Spring System.
The range comprises SGS8 4000 FD 8p1BB, SGS8 5000 FD 8P1BB, SGS8 6000 FD 8P1BB, SGS8 8000 FD 8P1BB and SGS8 10000 FD 8P1BB.
The 5000 weighs 387 g and offers 12.5 kg maximum drag, a 5.7:1 gear ratio, 98 cm retrieve per turn and line capacity of 190 m at 0.33 mm. It is the lighter of the two versions with published performance specifications here, useful when weight matters during active lure fishing.
The 10000 weighs 622 g and offers 13 kg maximum drag, the same 5.7:1 ratio, 120 cm retrieve per turn and capacity of 350 m at 0.38 mm. It carries more of the stated thicker line and retrieves more line per turn, at the cost of an extra 235 g. Choose it when those differences matter for lure or natural-bait fishing, rather than for a large increase in drag strength.
For the 4000, 6000 and 8000, size and shared construction are established, but reel weight, maximum drag, gear ratio, capacity and retrieve figures are not supplied. Do not assume they share the 5000 or 10000 specifications.
