Product Description
Shimano Sahara FJ 500 Spinning Reel
Compact, lightweight, and powerful, the Shimano Sahara FJ 500 is built for finesse applications where precision and smoothness matter most. Designed for ultralight freshwater fishing, this reel combines Shimano’s advanced technologies in a small frame, making it ideal for targeting species such as trout, panfish, and perch.
The Sahara FJ 500 is engineered with HAGANE Gear for superior strength and durability, while SilentDrive Technology refines internal tolerances for quieter, smoother operation. X-Ship Technology ensures maximum gear support under load, giving anglers confidence when fighting fish despite its ultralight size. A redesigned body and rotor reduce weight and improve handling, and the screw-in handle with an anti-reverse switch adds stability and control.
