Enhanced Reeling Capability

The esteemed Shimano Sahara line evolves with the new Sahara FJ C5000 XG Spinning Reel. Built to meet the demands of both novice and seasoned fishermen, this tough reel integrates Shimano's advanced engineering for superior performance on any fishing adventure.

This model is equipped with HAGANE Gear for maximum resilience, SilentDrive technology for ultra-quiet and fluid operation, and X-Ship technology to bolster gear strength when battling aggressive fish. The latest Sahara FJ is lighter than its predecessor and features a completely redesigned body and rotor for improved handling and aesthetics. Anglers can rely on the screw-in handle and the anti-reverse switch for consistent performance when going after their next big catch.

G-Free Body
This innovative technology repositions the reel's center of gravity nearer to the fishing rod. This adjustment brings the balance point closer to the angler's hand, which helps lessen fatigue and improves comfort during casting and retrieval.

HAGANE Gear
The core of many Shimano reels, HAGANE Gear is renowned for its exceptional strength and longevity. By utilizing cutting-edge processes, Shimano ensures the initial smooth, high-quality feel of the reel is maintained over prolonged use. The gear teeth are not machined; instead, the entire surface is meticulously engineered with specialized 3D design and then shaped using Shimano's cold forging technique, guaranteeing superior toughness. HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's relentless dedication to durability, with the power of forged metal remaining a cornerstone of their reel philosophy.

Propulsion Line Management System
The most visible part of this system is the novel Propulsion Spool Lip. Developed through extensive casting trials and computer modeling, this new lip design enables longer casts compared to conventional spools, while also minimizing backlashes and wind knots.

SilentDrive Technology
SilentDrive Technology stems from a comprehensive redesign of key components, including the drive gear and worm shaft. The objective was to eliminate excess noise and vibration. This led to micron-level precision in tolerances, resulting in a significantly quieter and smoother reel performance.

X-Ship
X-Ship enhances gear durability by supporting the pinion gear to maintain exact alignment with the drive gear. This ensures the gears remain properly engaged even under extreme pressure. A further advantage of X-Ship is the reduction of friction between the spool shaft and the gear, which also contributes to better casting performance and increased distance with lighter lures.
