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

Perfect for freshwater and land based saltwater fishing this is a mid priced class reel offering durable performance and versatility. Just one glance is enough to be captivated 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 the classic black and gold colours, the Sahara is silent, ultra-smooth and is also equipped with anti-reverse, supporting a fantastic clutch.

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 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 horsepower 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're into lightweight techniques, check out the size 500 or the slightly larger 1000 model. For fishing with light to medium lures, floats and feeders, 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, confidence-inspiring reel. It's your perfect choice!
