The Savage Gear SG2 is an affordable spinning reel that’s built to last and has an extra spool as standard.
One thing you should know about Savage Gear’s reels, is that they not an imitation of competitive reels, or made of standard parts, used by many manufacturers. Savage Gear started from a blank drawing board and designed all the components that go into a reel, from the beginning.
The SG2 reel series is made from a super strong, graphite composite material, that offers strength, light weight and corrosion resistance.
The Savage Gear SG2 is an affordable spinning reel that’s built to last and has an extra spool as standard.
It features many unique technological advances, that you would not expect to find on a reel at this price range including the proprietary Dura Grease, that protects against corrosion and wear. It also features an aluminum handle with soft-touch knob, custom made T-clip that’s easy to use, and a spare graphite spool.
The reel is also available with two different gear ratios, depending on the size you choose (1000 to 4000 available). But the best ratio on this reel is that of quality to price – you’ll struggle to find a better entry-level spinning reel with as many unique features as the SG2.
Maintenance after fishing is very important, if you want your spinning reel to perform for many years in the harsh saltwater environment. The Savage Gear SG2 reels contain Dura Grease. This is Savage Gear’s unique, proprietary grease, developed especially for Savage Gear reels, that protects the gearing from corrosion and wear. The grease is steam resistant, water and saltwater resistant and operates between -30˚C to 160˚C, which should cover just about any fishing situation on planet Earth. It’s also biodegradable. With Dura Grease, the Savage Gear reels will perform at their best for longer.
