The new Savage Gear 2021 reels have arrived at Arrow International!
I've known about this project for a long time, the new reels from Savage Gear 2021, so unlike you, the wait perplexed me a bit. I can't wait to see them, these reels being a must have for Savage Gear, given that, personally, I think that this brand offers double the money required for any product, whether it is rods, lures, luggage, clothes. Savage Gear fans know what I'm talking about.
The new Savage Gear 2021 reels have arrived
In a sunny day, Radu Boloca, head of marketing Arrow International he called me: "Arif, they have come!". He didn't have to complete what came, you know, I got in the car and in a maximum of 30 minutes I gave the first turn of the crank to each of the 8 models of Savage Gear reels available.
The box of surprises
But before we talk about reels, I start with the first thing I liked, the box that opens with the same elegance in which Savage Gear designed, made and launched this project. The icing on the cake, the message on the note that greets you before you see the reel: “Congratulations on your new Savage Gear purchase! Enjoy and let us know what you think! ”.
In order of numbers on the T-shirt and in ascending order of price, the new Savage Gear 2021 reels are available in 8 models designed to cover any application in predator fishing in this world, sizes from 1000 (ultralight) to 18000 (fishing Extreme marine): Savage Gear SG2, SG4, SG6, SG8, plus two models for marine fishing, SG6 and SG8.
About technology, only good
Being a project that has been working on for over two years, it is normal that Savage Gear should have stood out with these 2021 reels, as we are used to. So let's see briefly some technologies used in the construction of these reels: GRC and CRC Body & Rotor (graphite and carbon composite body and rotor), Kalloy Body & Rotor (aluminum alloy body and rotor), VSS Vantage Spring System springs that allow a constant pressure in the use of the brake), BR-S Braid Ready Spool (a rubber band on the drum to be able to pull the textile thread directly without monofilament filling, FCS 1,2,3 Friction Control System carbon fiber with fiberglass coating), Hydro Sealed Body & Drag (protection against water and dust entering the body and reel brake), Dynamic Line Management (higher drums for better wire distribution and unwinding), PCG Precision Cut Gearing (reel gears are made in one piece, regardless of material, steel or aluminum, depending on the case), FGC Fixed Gear Construction (the oscillation system is fixed directly on the reel body) , TCS Temperature Controlled System (drums have an integrated fan that combined with titanium washers helps cool the brake system in action). There are others that you will surely discover. Oh, there would be something else…
Savage Gear Dura Oil, Dura Grease
Dura Grease and Dura Oil, custom Vaseline and oil, made and developed especially for Savage Gear reels. Unlike traditional reel and Vaseline oil, Dura Grease and Dura Oil operate consistently at temperatures between -30 ° C and 160 ° C and provide much better grip, ensuring that the gears are always covered with a protective layer, even at touch. This greatly improves the corrosion resistance, the quietness of the gears and makes the parts inside the reel much more durable. It is also a completely biodegradable product.
5 year warranty on the new Savage Gear 2021 reels
I stop here with technologies, innovations and other cold specifications. In the heat, I spun each reel separately from SG2 to SG8. In short, simple, pleasant design, light weight, aluminum spare drum, 5-year warranty. In addition, as we have become accustomed to in Savage Gear, they are also good at money, prices for all pockets and all the applications used in fishing for predators. From my point of view, a great success.
From the window with products I chose, Savage Gear SG8 3000H FD!
In recent years I have started to use larger reels, including clean, perch, trout I fished with sizes 2500, and pike and pike size 3000. I prefer to have more thread on the drum and I think the launches are longer as the drum he is more generous. Okay, I also admit that I have in the arsenal only light reels that do not unbalance any assembly regardless of the rod used. Or at least it doesn't bother me. So what did I choose? I couldn't help but go home with a Savage Gear SG8 3000H FD reel. Why 3000H? Because it looks and spins well, it weighs only 216 grams, 11 bearings, is smaller than a normal reel size 3000, swallows 150m of 0.23mm wire and has a high speed recovery ratio of 6.2: 1 (H). And last but not least, I'm really curious how this new Savage Gear project will behave in fishing, which one of them pleasantly impressed me. You not? NOW I start pulling threads on drums, multifilament and monofilament.
Later edit, the first test with the Savage Gear SG8 3000H reel
For a reel of category 3000 SG8 it is very light and small, so I can use it in all fishing parties, both for trout and grayling, but also for pike or pikeperch. Savage Gear SG8 3000H winds the thread perfectly on the drum, which can be found in the length of the launches. Read the rest of the article Just a perfect day, trout and grayling with SG8 3000H.
