Nice reelThis will be my 4th Shimano Sahara. I switched from Diawa to Shimano a long time ago . I've had many different spinning reels in my life but I have never retired a Sahara reel. I've fished since 1980. Received this Sahara 4000 and its been great since 2017 . Had it for a year . Works flawless . No complaints. Yes it's closer to the rod blank now . I also got a Diawa BG4000 at the same time in 2017 . The Diawa was a gift from my son . Diawa seems to have more line capacity . I put 12lb Trilene Big Game fishing line on both . I still like the Sahara though. Got 4 stars due to line capacity .

Bad body designEverything about this reel was perfect except for one thing. The gap between the arm and the foot was too short. I was crushing my knuckles on the arm. I couldn't imagine fishing with this reel all day...I couldn't imagine fishing with it for 10 min. I rated it one star because the reel is useless to me due to comfort.

Good valueThere are so many Shimano reels it is hard to pick. The Sahara has held up to lots of saltwater use and that's the best that any reel can do especially in this price range.

Excellent valueI've put the 2500 through all kinds of fish from crappie to walleye to 30+ inch wipers and I am really impressed with the quality. This wiper was 33 and was screaming drag out with 6 pound line. Took a good 20 minutes but I fought it up current and through several long runs to bring it in. I've had this reel almost six months and it is almost as good as new. It still reels silky smooth, and the drag is extremely smooth as well.
PS- the guy that gave a one star review must have set it or dropped it in sand because mine is great and I've put it through everything except sand. Never lay your rods/reels down on the beach!
Is there a selector(on-off) for the anti reverse on all models of this reel?

what pound test line
why size rod works best
Asked by: zocchi
What you are fishing for and your equipment determines your line size and type. Typically your rod and reel have guide lines for the size of line they are best suited for.
