Description
More drag efficiency is the hallmark of the Shimano® Sahara® R Rear Drag Spinning Reel. Its rear-adjustable drag knob is located at the back of the reel, so you don't have to interfere with the line to make a quick adjustment. And the Sahara R also features Shimano's Fightin' Drag II, which adds a rear strike lever that enables solid hooksets without losing your drag setting. Click the lever to the strike position to tighten up for hooksetting, then flip it back to immediately return to the original drag setting to fight the fish in. As always, the Sahara R provides Shimano quality at an affordable price, with its graphite body and rotor, 1-piece bail wire, durable cold-forged spool with smooth Propulsion Line Management System, and 3+1 bearing system.

It’s shimanoJust ordered this reel... now I have many combos but the main I use for the majority of my fishing is a ugly stick-rear drag shimano. I have used one reel that was passed down from my father and my last reel purchased 13 years ago. I’m not your average weekend warrior, I fish a lot and catch a lot and my equipment gets beat up bad. But nothing has ever held up like these shimano reels, I have filled them with sand countless times and you just can’t seem to break them. Maybe I’m partial to the rear drags but I find that I loose a lot less fish not having to get in the way of the line to adjust the drag on the top of the reel like the normal front drags.

Well worth the money.I have had this reel for a few years . It works great and I really like the fighting drag. Very smooth ball bearing action. Typical Shimano long lasting quality. I highly recommend this reel.

Didn't last 1 seasonThe drag/gearing mechanism became defective during the first month of use. Sent it Shimano for warranty repair. They have horrible customer service. Took them 6 WEEKS to finally send me my reel back.
Does this reel take the place of the spirex rg? Apparently that model has been discontinued.
Asked by: Kristin73
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. The Sahara reel is not replacing the Spirex.

Does this reel have anti-reverse? ( i.e. bail/spool will not wind backward to top position before stopping). I noticed the newer Shimano Spirex model still does this. Surprised me as I thought this was only common on older spinning reel models.
Asked by: LTC2018
Spirex winds back to top position due to it having a quick fire. Sahara R will not do this as it has a continuous anti-reverse.
