FAQs
What type of fishing is this reel best suited for?
The Savage Gear SG6 250 BC Multiplier Reel is ideal for predator anglers targeting species like pike and large perch, and can also be used for bass fishing, due to its power, casting versatility, and strong construction.
What does the 'Line-ID' feature do?
The Line-ID feature allows you to mark your fishing line, typically with a small tag or marker, to help you easily identify which line you are using, especially when you have multiple spools or different types of line.
How do I adjust the external centrifugal brake?
The external centrifugal brake is typically adjusted by accessing small weights inside the side plate. You can engage or disengage these weights (often by lifting or lowering them) to control the reel's braking force during casting.
Is this reel suitable for saltwater use?
While the reel features an EDP painted aluminium frame for corrosion resistance, it is primarily designed for freshwater use. If used in saltwater, it is crucial to rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh water after every use and maintain it regularly.
What maintenance is recommended for this reel?
Regular maintenance includes rinsing with fresh water after use, periodic cleaning with a soft cloth, and applying appropriate reel lubricant to moving parts as needed. Refer to the manufacturer's guide for specific lubrication points and frequency.
Does this reel come in left-hand retrieve versions?
The product description mentions that the size 250 is now also available in right-hand versions, implying that left-hand versions may exist or have existed, but this specific model information focuses on the right-hand version.
What is DuraGrease?
DuraGrease is a specialized lubricating grease formulated by Savage Gear to ensure smooth operation and enhance the durability of the reel's internal components, providing long-lasting performance.
Troubleshooting
Reel makes grinding noise during retrieve.
This could indicate a need for lubrication or cleaning. Rinse the reel with fresh water, dry it, and apply reel lubricant to the handle and spool. If the noise persists, internal components may need cleaning or servicing.
Difficulty casting or frequent backlashes.
Adjust the external centrifugal brake and the spool tension knob. Start with the brake set higher and tension knob just tight enough to stop the spool wobble, then reduce tension gradually. Ensure the line is not tangled or knotted.
Drag is not smooth or slips unexpectedly.
Check the drag washers for debris or damage. Ensure the drag star is tightened evenly. If the drag system is old or has been heavily used, the drag washers may need replacement.
Reel handle feels stiff or difficult to turn.
The reel may require lubrication. Apply reel oil to the handle bearings and the main shaft. If the stiffness remains, the internal gears might need cleaning and greasing with DuraGrease.
