Features
- + Propulsion Line Management System

The Shimano Sahara Rear Drag spinning reel offers Great Lakes steelhead and trout anglers a smooth, reliable option for light-line presentations in river and tributary settings. The rear drag adjustment is ideal for float fishing and light nymphing where quick drag changes during a hot steelhead run are essential. At 4.4 lbs of max drag and 27 inches of line retrieve per turn, it's best suited for smaller streams targeting trout or early-season steelhead with monofilament.
