The Savage Gear SG6 BC is a range of low profile baitcasting reels designed for predator fishing with artificial lures. Combining a compact, ergonomic body with durable mechanical components, these reels provide the control and versatility needed for a variety of casting techniques. The SG6 BC series is designed for use with baitcasting rods and different types of artificial lures, including hard baits, soft plastic lures and larger predator fishing lures. Its construction focuses on comfortable handling, controlled casting and reliable performance when fighting powerful fish.
The Savage Gear SG6 BC features a strong aluminium frame and aluminium side plates with a protective EDP coating. This construction provides a rigid foundation for the internal mechanism, helping maintain stability when the reel is subjected to heavy loads. The compact, ergonomically shaped body sits comfortably in the hand during repeated casts and lure retrieval. Additional construction features include a separate stainless steel reel foot and a brass worm shaft incorporated into the line guide mechanism.
One of the key features of the Savage Gear SG6 BC is its externally adjustable centrifugal braking system. This system allows anglers to control spool rotation during casting and adjust braking performance to suit different lure weights and fishing conditions. By helping manage spool speed, the centrifugal brake reduces the risk of unwanted line overruns and improves casting control. The reel also incorporates a non-loss spool tension knob, designed to reduce the risk of accidentally losing the adjustment knob. Together, these features make it easier to adapt the reel to different casting situations.
The SG6 BC mechanism incorporates steel ball bearings and DuraGrease lubrication to support smooth operation and reduce friction between moving components. A soft-touch rubber handle knob provides a comfortable grip when retrieving lures and fighting fish. The reel also features a Dragclicker system, which produces an audible clicking sound when line is released against the drag. This provides additional feedback during the fight, helping anglers monitor drag operation when targeting powerful predators.
Another distinctive feature of the Savage Gear SG6 BC is the Line-ID system, which allows anglers to identify the fishing line loaded onto the reel. This is particularly useful when using several baitcasting setups with different line diameters or breaking strains. The system helps keep fishing equipment organised and makes it easier to distinguish between reels prepared for different fishing situations.
The Savage Gear SG6 BC range includes baitcasting reels in sizes 250 and 300, offering different spool capacities and drag characteristics. The more compact version is suitable for anglers who prefer a lighter baitcasting setup, while the larger size offers increased line capacity and greater drag power. Different gear ratio options allow anglers to select a suitable line retrieval speed for their preferred lure presentation and fishing technique. With its aluminium construction, adjustable centrifugal braking system and practical features, the SG6 BC series is an excellent choice for anglers looking for a versatile baitcasting reel for predator fishing.
