Continuing the Sahara's run of providing uncompromising performance at a great value, the Shimano Sahara FJ Spinning Reels are completely redesigned and better than ever. Heavily upgraded for 2022, the Sahara FJ boasts and entirely new body and rotor design that was borrowed from spinning reels well above its price bracket. Industry leading technologies such as the cold forged HAGANE Gear and X-Ship technology return to the blueprint for smooth reeling performance that lasts. New to the Sahara FJ is the addition of SilentDrive technology, which fine tunes internal components to the highest tolerances possible for even smoother and more efficient retrieval. Lighter in weight than the previous generation, the Sahara FJ will provide an even more comfortable balance in the hand to reduce fatigue during long fishing trips. The Sahara FJ features a screw-in handle, as well as an anti-reverse switch. Perfect for entry level and experienced anglers alike, the Sahara FJ will provide dependable performance in pursuit of anything form your first fish to the fish of a lifetime.

Great light weight reel from Shimano. Holds enough braid for surf fishing and can handle good size fish such as Striped Bass and Bluefish. I have used Shimano for years and have found them very reliable much like the Penn reels.
Pros
  • Lightweight, sturdy and well made.
Cons
  • None.
