The Sahara range of front drag reels combine modern design with many of Shimano's best technical features.

Perfect for freshwater and saltwater shore fishing this is a mid-priced class reel that offers durable performance and versatility. Just one look is enough to be enraptured by the new Sahara.

The classy look is more than matched by the impressive range of technologies in a combination that belies the remarkably affordable price.

Characterized by the classic black and gold colors, the Sahara is silent, ultra smooth and is also equipped with an anti-reverse, to support a fantastic clutch.

With a huge 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 Shimano's more expensive reels and is an unexpected bonus for all owners of the new Sahara.

Using the reel even on the lightest rods you will appreciate the balance of the G-Free body.

Place the larger 5000 size on higher powered spinning rods or a feeder rod and you'll appreciate the reel power and casting performance offered by the AR-C spool with Varispeed II oscillation.

If you are passionate about light techniques, take a look at the 500 size or the slightly larger 1000 model.

For light to medium lure, float and feeder fishing, 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's your perfect choice!
