One look is enough to be enraptured by the new Sahara. The classy appearance is more than matched by the impressive array of technologies in a combination that belies the remarkably affordable price. Featuring classic black and gold colors, the Sahara is quiet, ultra-smooth, and also has backstop, supporting fantastic friction. With a wide range of models available, the Sahara completely redefines reels in this price range and never ceases to amaze. The first thing you'll notice when using the Sahara is how smooth, quiet, and powerful it is when spinning, especially when under heavy pressure. This is due to a combination of HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, and Silent Drive. This technical trilogy is usually found on more expensive reels from Shimano and is an unexpected bonus for all owners of the new Sahara. Using the reel on even the lightest rods will appreciate the G-Free body balance. Place the larger size 5000 on higher-powered spinning rods or a feeder rod and you'll appreciate the power of the reel and the casting performance offered by the AR-C reel with Varispeed II oscillation. If you're into light techniques, check out the 500 size or the slightly larger 1000 model. For fishing with light and medium lures, floats and feeder, the 2000, 2500 and 3000 sizes are a pleasure to use. The 4000 is a mid-range feeder reel and the 5000 is a powerful reel that inspires confidence. It is your perfect choice!
