Shimano SAHARA REELS

Incorporating all manners of superb features from the X-Ship and HAGANE gearing to their G-Free body, offering both power and un-rivalled durability at a tremendous price point. These offer performance and value that will appeal to novice and experienced anglers alike.

The Hagane Drive Gear is produced by their cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a long-lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the product. Traditional die cast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.

VariSpeed II oscillation system moves with two variable speeds to lay the line flat and smooth onto the spool. This provides trouble free, longer distant casts.
