The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

Shimano needs to give their reps a raise. My Lord.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Agreed 👍

[@DanAlexanderCoaching]

The guy behind the camera on this is hard work. Shimano survived the interrogation like a G.

[@benphillips9738]

Amen to that 😂

[@kutaboveperfection]

I have a Sahara 2000 spinning reel about 10 years old still going strong . I have the Nexave 3000 spinning reel for about 2 years and both perform like new.

[@baliton2006]

I’m definitely getting the miravel for the price has a lot of the technology from the old vanford for $130

[@johngoss3997]

Sahara is such a nice value man

[@jerrypauling7809]

Been using one for over 20 years only in salt, once in the shop for tune up

[@victorxavier9977]

I own and have used many different brands of spinning reels and the Shimano IMO are the smoothest and solid feeling reels

[@paoslee]

you sir are correct, many other great brands, but shimano hands down has the best feel and smoothest reels.

[@tz3586]

Just picked up the Shimano Sahara FJ 2500. First cast tmrw morning. Can't wait!! Lighter weight plus great balance G-Free Body design High-durability HAGANE Gear SilentDrive technology for smooth retrieval X-Ship gear support system Propulsion Line Management System Screw-in handle The Stella is the higher class purchase but man for the price and aesthetics you can't go wrong.

[@cap2666]

I have this new Sahara and is alot smoother than my Daiwa Exceler ..

[@johnloxley8705]

The great thing about Shimano to me is that their quality can be purchased at any level …. Cheap and cheerful to god damn expensive !!! They can do it all …. Great work shimano 👍😁

[@jorgedavila622]

i got started with Penn reels and they are great but Shimano seems consistenly ligher. going to start switching my reels out this year.

[@sebaseba699]

Very humble Shimano guy.

[@canajian]

A good reel in that moment you catch that epic lifetime fish, is when you look at it and say man that was worth every penny... 😎

[@aaronhiggs]

Amen. When I caught my PB Snook, I was glad it was on my Stradic! If I used a cheap reel, that drag and gearing would have been toast.

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Simply awesome That 500 series would be perfect with a mini ugly stick the dock runner for pinfish

[@AliexFolgueira]

The best

[@baysmaccin]

What about Shimano baitrunner reels?

[@kutaboveperfection]

I wouldn't mind getting the new Sahara 3000 spinning reel to add to my collection 🙂they are great value for sure.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Good choice!

[@aniqnadzmi942]

Would like to buy 2500hg for target some inshore like barramundi. Would u suggest me 2500 or 3000. Does it relevent for saltwater use

[@fathog247]

Cool guy from shimano nice video alex

[@AliexFolgueira]

i was epic!

[@arocosadventures724]

Wow that guy had answer to everything and patient as few👍 Have a Sahara 2500 & Nasci 4000 and wouldn’t change them for any other brand in the same price range - qualtiy in its purest form.

[@AliexFolgueira]

He was amazing!

[@Outdoorswithluke]

Sahara is dope man the 1000 series is great for Ajing

[@random8985]

is the sahara sealed?

[@cerescop]

Better, good video.

[@AliexFolgueira]

He was great! Very knowledgeable

[@eddielikesfishing]

Buy the Catana line reels and maintain them yourself. Rinse them off every trip. Depending upon how much you use them, take them completely apart and clean and lube them either once every 6 months, or once a year. It should last a very long time. If you think it is overly complicated, take pictures for references.

[@mongovang]

Bought a 5000 Sahara 2 weeks ago and have handled Stripers from 18-29"'s exceptionally well. This past Labor Day weekend it was able to pull in Stripers back to back for 2 days. However, after coming home I noticed that it started to make a clicking noise when the spool reaches to the top before coming back down. Just sharing my experience with the reel so far. Maybe already time to upgrade to a Spheros cause these Stripers are nothing to play around with.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Clean it up

[@sithykarithy864]

How do I determine if my reel isn’t too big for my rod? I have the Shimano Sahara C5000XG and a 6’9 Phenix Feather medium power/fast spinning rod. The reel feel like it sits fine in the seat but when I tighten it, I’m afraid it will eventually break because it feels kinda heavy. Should I go and try a 4000?

[@AliexFolgueira]

If you can, take the rod to the tackle store and test different sizes, Shimano reels are smaller so 5000 is more like a 4000

[@CUSSLIKEASAILOR]

🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@Intimatycal]

Now to be or not to be: Sahara or Sedona? For salt water exclusively

[@AliexFolgueira]

I have no complains with Sahara

[@cespaia]

Sorry man , but the Miravel and the New Nasci Fc look much better than the new Sahara 😊

[@papapsonchannel1420]

Not XShip just like shimano Miravel 5000xg

[@hotwillz78]

That 2500 reel is trash. Wears out quickly. I wasted money on 2. After a couple months the main gear rubs on a set screw every time it passes by on both freaking reels.

[@flynnryder7798]

Crap, I just bought a c3000 Sahara yesterday. We’re the two you had problems with the new 2022 model?

[@stripervince1]

This rep is excellent, he had every answer perfectly. Great rep knows his shit. No loss for words. One annoying foreigner. Go away already. Can't wait to get my saragosa 6000 for trophy stripers under the dams
