What we sought was a higher grade of basic performance. We have realized the evolution of lightness and stress-free winding!
Spinning reels, which are heavily used in various fields to catch a wide range of target fish, are required to be tough and have full basic performance. SAHARA, loved by many anglers for its affordable price for beginners and satisfactory specifications for experienced anglers, has been redesigned to further improve its performance. SILENTDRIVE, which eliminates rattling and minute noises transmitted to the hand during rotation, is equipped for the first time.
The sensitivity during reeling, which is required for lure fishing, has been greatly improved. The synergistic effect of the screw-in handle, which is also a first for this model, will give you excellent sensitivity and a stress-free reeling feel. This is a fully-equipped unit that allows anglers to experience a higher grade of actual fishing performance.
Features:
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.
SILENT DRIVE
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
Shimano AR-C Spool features a special spool ring shape. This design effectively minimises the possibility of issues when line exits the spool, resulting in trouble-free line management and exceptional casting performance.
