The Sahara is a mid-priced rear drag reel that combines a classy appearance with smooth operation, perfectly reflecting Shimano’s renowned quality. Available in both single and double handle options, it features Shimano’s exclusive Fightin’ Drag technology, making it an eye-catching and versatile performer.
One look at the Sahara reveals its quality craftsmanship, and a single turn of the handle confirms it. Its smooth and powerful operation exceeds expectations for its price point. With both single and double handle versions available, the Sahara offers versatility for all preferences.
Perfect for match and pleasure fishing, including float, feeder, and lure techniques, the Sahara includes the Fightin’ Drag system for instant drag adjustment when battling fish, ensuring precise control in every situation.
Equipped with 3 shielded stainless steel ball bearings and a roller bearing, the Sahara uses a multi-disk rear drag system for smooth and progressive performance. The Fightin’ Drag feature allows fine-tuned adjustments while playing fish.
The Cold Forged Aluminium Spool with AR-C line management is suitable for both mono and braid, while the Varispeed II system ensures even line lay and prevents bedding under pressure. Available in sizes ranging from 1000 to 4000, including a high-speed 3000 model (6.2:1), the Sahara is a versatile reel built for multiple freshwater angling applications.
