Description

Shimano Sahara C3000 HG FI Compact spinning fishing reel, model 2017. The new Sahara FI is a powerful spinning reel which is developed to give the angler unparalleled durability at its price point. The durability of the Sahara stems from the cold forged Hagane Gearing which is incorporated in its GFree Body. The GFree Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort on long fishing sessions due to the location of the inner systems closer to the rod. The stiff XT 7 body creates perfect protection and support for the Hagane gear and the X Ship system to work to their maximum effect and efficiency. The Sahara is available in sizes from 1000 to 5000 and it offers both durable performance and value that will appeal to a wide audience of anglers. Features: HAGANE Gear, GFree Body, X SHIP, AR C Spool, Varispeed II, Power Roller, Cold Forged Aluminium spool. Specifications for size C3000HG: Gear ratio: 6.0:1, Line capacity (lb/yds): 6/230, 8/170, 10/140, Line Retrieve per crank (in/cm): 36 inch / 91 centimeter, Max. drag force: 20 lbs / 9 kilogramm, Ballbearings: 4and 1, Weight: 8.80 ounce / 250 gramm

  • One of my favorite reels !
Size: Gear Ratio: 6.2:1 | Size: 4000
This reel changed the game for me , I’m fairly new to salt water fishing and using artificial lures . For the last 6months of owning this and pairing it with a ugly stik gx2 with 20lb reaction tackle braid . I must say I have never enjoyed myself more fishing . I can cast artificial all day , or use a light set Carolina rig to use live bait or live line bait . I have caught 3.5ft shark off with this thing and it handled it like a champ (4000size ). ! ... show more

  • Shimano Sahara 2500 - this is the low end model
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.0:1 | Size: 2500
I assumed all models of the Sahara would have the same features but was incorrect. There is a feature called line marking which is a visual check on how much line is on the reel. If you want to put a backing of 1/3 mono then fill the reel up with braid then this feature makes it easier. This reel does not have this feature. Also it does not have the anti-reversing feature so the only way to stop your reel from winding backwards is to tighten down on the drag. Since this wasn't a very expensive reel and seems to be well built I'll keep it and use it but it just feels a little dishonest that these "lack of features" aren't mentioned anywhere in the ad. ... show more

  • Seller sent reel but opened and had no manuals, disappointing
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.0:1 | Size: 1000
I like the product was just disappointed in the company I bought it from. It was opened and did not come with any of the manuals. I question whether it is a new reel. Also for past shimano reels I’ve purchased it had an extra spool, but since this was opened not sure if it did.

  • Ahh.. what kind of Reel should you get? This Reel!
Size: Gear Ratio: 5.0:1 | Size: 1000
Why choose any other reel? Honestly, it's smooth, probably the smoothest reel I've ever touched. It's flow is honestly magical. You'll know after you try this one. I used the 3000 for Bass fishing and couldn't have been happier. It has a quick ratio and now I'm using this one to help cast further for Crappie season. Don't settle for less.. I went through about 2-3 $30 reels before I realized this was a smart purchase. Don't see myself owning a different one ever.. ... show more
