Sahara FJ Spinning Reel

The Sahara range of reels with front drag combines modern design with many of SHIMANO's best technical features. Perfect for a variety of freshwater and saltwater methods, it is a stylish, mid-range reel that delivers durable performance and versatility. One look tells you that the Sahara is a serious reel you can rely on. The stylish appearance is more than matched by the impressive array of technology combined with a remarkable affordable price. The Sahara is whisper-quiet, runs superbly, and if you prefer to play fish using back winds or other moments when you need to quickly let line out, the anti-reverse button is there to complement the excellent front drag. With a large number of available models, the Sahara completely redefines this price segment and makes a lasting impression. The first thing you notice when using the Sahara is how smooth, quiet, and deceptively powerful it is in operation, especially when fishing under pressure. This is due to a combination of HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, and Silent Drive. This technical trilogy is usually found on Shimano's more expensive reels and is an unexpected bonus for all Sahara owners. Use the reel on the lightest rods and you will experience the balance of the G-Free body. Put the largest 4000 or 5000 model on a heavy lure or feeder rod and you will greatly appreciate the extra power and responsiveness of the 'screw-in' handle and the smooth casting performance of the AR-C spool with Varispeed II oscillation. If you fish with ultra finesse, take a look at the 500 mini version or the slightly larger 1000 model. For fishing with light and medium-weight lures, float, and feeder fishing, the 2000, medium 2500, and 3000 are a joy to use. The 4000 is great for pike, barbel, mid-range feeder reel, and asp (XG version). The 5000 XG is a powerhouse that inspires confidence for similar fisheries. The choice is yours!
