Description

More drag efficiency is the hallmark of the Shimano Sahara R Rear Drag Spinning Reel. Its rear-adjustable drag knob is located at the back of the reel; so you don't have to interfere with the line to make a quick adjustment. And the Sahara R also features Shimano's Fightin' Drag II; which adds a rear strike lever that enables solid hooksets without losing your drag setting. Click the lever to the strike position to tighten up for hooksetting; then flip it back to immediately return to the original drag setting to fight the fish in. As always; the Sahara R provides Shimano quality at an affordable price; with its graphite body and rotor; 1-piece bail wire; durable cold- forged spool with smooth Propulsion Line Management System; and 3+1 bearing system. From an angling perspective; every individual who has owned and enjoyed using Shimano tackle has a reason to thank a Japanese visionary named Shozaburo Shimano; who in 1921 declared “I aim to make Shimano's products the best in Kansai; then the best in Japan; and finally the best in the world." For over 80 years; Shimano has concentrated on precision engineering; one step at a time. Creating the most innovative products and processes you can hold in your hand today.

  • Drag setting
Size: 4000R
I really like how drag setting is automatic when reeling in fish, great for Oio.

  • smooth operation
Size: 4000R
Bought these to replace my Spirex, but really no comparison. Can't get Spirex anymore, even the front drag models are difficult to come by. This will suffice, but I really miss my Spirex reels - one in the drink, one sent to Shimano and received 'comprable' replacement, and one I still have.

  • Good reel, smooth, no extra spool.
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.2:1 | Size: 2500
Good reel, nice and smooth. Bummer about only one spool for the US market and the European version comes with 2... oh well. It casts very well and handles big fish with light line, the first day I caught a 30+lbs freshwater drum on 6lb mono line. Fun! The drag was easy to use brought in the fish with ease. Only giving 4 stars because of the no extra spool. When I purchased the 2500-r a couple of years ago (lost it in a fire with all my fishing equipment) it came with and extra one, but not this reel. Just FYI. ... show more

  • Feel cheated
Size: 4000R
It does exceed the quality of my thirty year old Spirex. I like it so much that I ordered a second one from the same vendor. The first cost $99.99 and did not have a spare spool. The second arrived, yesterday, in a different style box and with a spare spool. It only cost $85. The reels are IDENTICAL. I will eat that fourteen bucks because I like the reels so well, but I feel cheated. ... show more

  • Synchronicity and balance
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.2:1 | Size: 1000
Been fishing Shimano since I first loved their bicycle gears 30 years+ ago. This is my 6th and fav, so far. Action is so smooth that gravity actually pulls it back to zero! Loved rear drags all my life and this is one of the smoothest ever at this price point. So impressed. My beloved old Mitchell full drag has finally met a fair match in ultralight. Put this on a Shimano Scimitar and it will balance on one finger. Stops on a dime, anti reverse, etc. Until I catch em up with my bare teeth and paws, this is all you could want in a lightweight. I have already ordered the 2500 and 4000 to up my spin game for Steelies and Salmon on Oregon rivers. ... show more

  • I love the Shimano Sahara!
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.2:1 | Size: 2500
Top quality is what to expect from Shimano. I also own 2 sizes of the Shimano Calcutta reels. It doesn’t get any better! I also have a Sahara 4000 reel that’s more than a few years old and never have had any problems. Ever! So I don’t expect any problems with this newer model. I like rear drag reels. I tested and it worked great. Its a very smooth winding reel. I can tell it’s top quality. Looking forward to the ice melting here in MI so I can go out on Lake St. Clair and latch on to some Walleye with my new Sahara. ... show more

  • This is a fantastic reel for the money!!
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.2:1 | Size: 1000
I just bought my brother in law this reel in the 1000 size, for this upcoming Christmas. I was so impressed that I bought myself one also. :) This reel is very smooth, it feels like a reel that would be more expensive, aside from the weight, it's not terrible but it is a little chunky. The rear drag is a great idea, and the "fightin drag" lever is really quick and easy to use. You'll want to flip the bailer down, before reeling, after casting. It will crank down but it's not as smooth, as there again a 200.00+ reel. I have a few of those reels and that's what I'm used to. That is exactly why I am so impressed with this reel !! Aside from the two things I listed this is a solid little reel!! I would definitely recommend, and already have a few times, this reel especially if you looking for a good value!! ... show more
