The Sahara RD reel is a very reasonably priced rear drag reel with many of Shimano's renowned qualities, such as reliability and smoothness of rotation. From the first glance, one is seduced by its look and by its superb silver and gold finish. The Sahara RD is equipped with 3 protected stainless steel bearings and a needle bearing. Thanks to its multi-disc rear brake, its operation is very smooth.
In addition, the "Fightin'Drag" allows a quick adjustment of the brake and more flexibility in combat. Its cold forged aluminum AR-C spool and its "Varispeed" oscillation offer a perfect winding of the line, even under strong pressure, braid or nylon. Available from size 1000 to 4000, the Sahara RD is equipped with a single or double crank handle depending on the model.
This versatile reel is suitable for many freshwater situations, such as lure fishing for pike or bream. The 3000 size with its fast ratio (6.2:1) is particularly recommended for match anglers.
