Reel Shimano Sahara C3000 FI

A brand new reel that replaces the popular Exage model. It is more than just equivalent because it is newly fitted with the Hagane gears and the X-Ship system. It has four stainless steel ball bearings, one roller bearing and a multifunctional front brake for smooth progressive performance that works credibly when fighting with fish. For optimum casting performance has the cold forced aluminum spool AR-C and the Varispeed II line-laying system prevents stranding of thin lines and braided lines.

Reel uses the patented Shimano systems :

Hagane :

The durability, smoothness and strength of the gearing (HAGANE Gear), efficient power transmission (X-SHIP) and the incredibly rigid reel body (HAGANE Body) creates the heart of the concept. The more you use it, the more you realize the value of HAGANE.

Hagane Gear - Highly durable cold-forged aluminum drive gear :

With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano’s cold forging technology. The result is assured resilience. It’s the fruit of Shimano’s inexhaustible pursuit for durability the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

X-Ship - The Embodiment of smoothness :

The X-SHIP system gives reels increased gearing efficiency and power, eliminating twist and rotor flex. The result is powerful and silky smooth cranking by efficiently and effectively transmitting input power.

G Free Body :

G Free Body technology has been developer to shift the reel´s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the oscillation mechanism 19 mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

Super Stopper II :

With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you'll find zero free-play on the handle thanks to Super Stopper II. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting.

AR-C Spool :

A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring that the line comes off the reel in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimise the risk of backlash.

Varispeed II :

Oscillating system Varispeed II generates two different speeds storage line onto a spool, making a flat and smooth layer. This makes the casting over large distances longer and smooth.

XT-7 Body :

The XT-7 material is solid, lightweight and robust. It provides excellent storage for the gearbox and movable components of the reel. It is used in the production of lower and middle class Shimano reels and spools.
