SHIMANO SAHARA FJ
With features outperforming its class, the SAHARA
lineup is versatile and made for use in different situations!
The AR-C spool not only aids in reducing line troubles but also helps in further casting distances. The screw-in handle complemented with the reel's Silent Drive technology gives the angler a sturdy yet smooth reel for a comfortable cranking experience during fights with fish. This is crucial for lure fishing because if there is looseness or play when retrieving lures, you will not be able to acurately grasp the situation underwater. A C5000XG model with a rounded handle knob is included in this versatile lineup, from size 500 all the way to C5000

HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano
reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse.
HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works
alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
HAGANE GEAR
With amazing
strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano
reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives
anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers
first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth
of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated
in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's
cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the
result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of
forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
X SHIP
X SHIP provides
improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned
pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear
produce light reeling under load.
*Excluding 500
SILENTDRIVE
The basic design of
the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce
minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It
provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.

G FREE BODY
G FREE BODY
technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to
the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G
FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
AR-C SPOOL
The spool has a
special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and
realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
