product description

Shimano Sahara C5000 XG FI. Compact spinning fishing reel, model 2017. The new Sahara FI is a powerful spinning reel which is developed to give the angler unparalleled durability at its price point. The durability of the Sahara stems from the cold forged Hagane Gearing which is incorporated in its GFree Body. The GFree Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort on long fishing sessions due to the location of the inner systems closer to the rod. The stiff XT 7 body creates perfect protection and support for the HAGANE Gear and the X Ship system to work to their maximum effect and efficiency. The Sahara is available in sizes from 1000 to 5000 and it offers both durable performance and value that will appeal to a wide audience of anglers. - Features: HAGANE Gear, GFree Body, X SHIP, AR C Spool, Varispeed II, Power Roller, Cold Forged Aluminium spool.

Questions about Shimano Sahara C5000 XG FI Compact Spinning Fishing Reel Model 2017 SHC5000XGFI

will this reel in this size be suited for Muskie and Salmon?

Answer: No. This is more of bass/walleye reel

Answer: The 5000 could be, yes. You wouldn't want to use lures that require a lot of tension on the retrieve (like a bucktail) or hard jerking motions (weagle, suick), but it can handle the fight from those fish and hold the required line for them.

Answer: It will

Product reviews of Shimano Sahara C5000 XG FI Compact Spinning Fishing Reel Model 2017 SHC5000XGFI

Alvaro v : Shimano sahara 5000 XG

Todo correcto carrete de calidad precio inmejorables, el envió más rápido que la fecha marcada!

Hocquet : Très bon produit mais difficile d'utilisation pour les réglages

Très bon produit et de très haute qualité pour le prix .je le recommande pour le surfcasting (je pèche la dorade donc je parle de ce que je connais un peu) .Le lancé est petit et léger mais avec des capacités bien au delas de ce que je pourrais espérer pêcher dans mes plus beaux rêves .... Les roulements sont bons, mais je m'attendais à de meilleures performances vis à vis des lancés, ils ne sont pas si fluides qu'annoncés . J'attends mon kit de lubrification pour m'assurer que tout a bien été graissé et huilé (un oublis peux arriver et sans conséquences si pris assez tôt ) donc à voir par la suite. Ensuite petit problème avec le frein avant, mais c'est a cause de mon niveau pitoyable... J'aurais peut être dû en prendre un avec un frein arrière. Mais je vais beaucoup apprendre avec celui ci donc je percévère :-) bisous

Tommy Phan : ????

Love it,good seller, great ????

Robert Creque : Five Stars

Hocquet : Très bon produit mais difficile d'utilisation pour les réglages

Client d'Amazon : Trop petit

Trop petit

Fernanada : Ottimo

Shimano un nome una garanzia, mulinello fatto benissimo, raffinato e curato nei minimi dettagli,nelle mani senti un vero mulinello da pesca. Sono soddisfatto del mio acquisto.

James C. : Good bang for the buck

Shimano reels run a lot smaller than other reels this is like a 3000 size
This reel for the money is great it’s silky smooth and looks great this reel spooled with 20 braid should be great for school stripers and blues
The down side to this reel is the rotor if you have a cow on your end the rotor cup flexes a lot
In my final opinion it’s probably going on my St. Croix rod for plugs and other lures on the pier

LMS : Five Stars

Very good Reel. I landed 4 COD (17lb) on a single cast! I highly recommend.
