Savage Gear SGS8 4000 FD

SGS8 Tough saltwater fishing environments demand tough fishing tackle. So, how about a reel with a unique coating that easily withstood 500 hours of being sprayed with saltwater in testing? That’s our new SGS8, complete with SW500 coating. The reel is saltwater resistant in other ways too, including its sealed 8+1 steel ball bearings, sealed drag system and lightweight and strong aluminium body and Carbon Reinforced Composite rotor. Being able to withstand constant saltwater onslaughts isn’t this reel’s only quality, though. It also features our Friction Control System 3 drag system, which houses washers made in a three-layer design – a fibreglass layer with a carbon fibre layer on either side. This gives the washers unrivalled stiffness resulting in an ultra-smooth and powerful, fish-stopping drag – it also means they can be flipped over and used on either side to extend their lifespan.

  • SW500 coating
  • Aluminium body and carbon rotor
  • Dura Grease
  • 8+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearings
  • Screw-in aluminium handle
  • Soft-touch handle knob
  • Sealed carbon drag system
  • Double-sided drag washers
  • Vantage Spring System

The Savage Gear circle is complete – now you can add reels from your favourite predator fishing brand to your tackle armoury.


When we decided to create the first ever range of Savage Gear reels, we knew it wasn’t going to be a small job. To create quality reels that we were happy to put the Savage Gear logo on, we had to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch to make sure everything was of the highest standards. The whole project has taken more than two years and represents the biggest investment in tooling in the whole history of the brand – no corners were cut, nothing was bought ‘off the shelf’, we really went the extra mile and then some!


More important than the money we invested in this range, is the passion. An elite team of experienced anglers from Europe and the USA worked extensively on the input for these reels – from the very initial idea, to testing the finished collection. We didn’t just decide what reels we should make and what features they should have, we sought to create reels that answer the demands of anglers of all different abilities – every step of the way, these truly are reels made by anglers for anglers.


The range includes four freshwater spinning reel series and two saltwater reel series – some are created for fast spinning, while others have more traditional gear ratios. Everywhere you look, these reels ooze quality and innovation. Perhaps the best ex- ample of that is our proprietary Dura Grease, which has been completely custom made and developed for Savage Gear reels. Unlike traditional reel greases, Dura Grease performs consistently in temperatures between -30 °C to 160 °C and offers a much better stickiness ensuring that the gears are always coated with a layer of it, even when touching. This hugely improves corrosion resistance, smoothness and makes the internals of the reel much more durable. It’s also totally biodegradable.


Elsewhere we use three different types of Torque - shift gearing made from zinc, CNC aluminium or CNC brass and three different types of Friction Control Drag systems made from either felt, carbon fibre or a fibreglass and carbon blend. Other inno- vations include our Temperature Controlled System to keep the drag system cool, Hydro Seals to protect against water and debris ingress, a Vantage Spring System to provide a more consistent pressure for the drag system and so much more.


We left nothing to chance with the Savage Gear reel collection, we poured our hearts and souls into them so that you know you have a reel you can rely on to catch the monsters that lurk beneath the surface in this Savage world!
