Savage Gear SG8 300 BC LH

The Savage Gear SG8 300 BC is the largest and most powerful model in the SG8 baitcaster range - a left-hand retrieve reel built for medium to large lures and serious predators.

The Largest Model in the Range

The Savage Gear SG8 300 BC sits at the top of the SG8 baitcaster series, combining raw power, a striking look, smooth performance and unique features. Its one-piece K-Alloy body is machined from lightweight yet extremely strong and rigid aluminium, resisting flex and twist even under heavy load. A special E-Coating - a hybrid of anodising and lacquering - protects every surface against corrosion while giving the reel its distinctive matte olive-green finish. The high-quality brass gearing of the Torque Shift 3 system delivers a smooth, consistent retrieve regardless of which lure you're working, and transfers power from handle to spool with real efficiency - keeping even large, hard-fighting fish under control.

This baitcaster is designed for medium to large lures, and handles a wide variety of lure types including soft plastics, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and crankbaits. That versatility makes it a strong choice when targeting mid-sized to large predators such as pike, zander and largemouth bass. With 11 kg of drag available, it has the stopping power to handle whatever takes your lure. The built-in DragClicker lets you hear line being taken during the fight, giving you greater control over your drag setting so you can adjust it on the fly. The reel also features a Line ID dial on the star drag, where you can note both the diameter and breaking strain of your line - so you always know exactly what's loaded on the spool.
