Apart from the usual high shimano build quality there are two features I especially like about the reel: Firstly the twin rear drag adjustment which I find far preferable to front drag - especially with the additional second fine control adjustment. Secondly the simplicity with which the spool can be changed. Just one click and it comes straight off. So much easier than the penn battle 11 (3,000) reel I also have where you have to completely unwind the front drag retaining piece. I would thoroughly recommend this reel Review: Smooth, good quality - Model RD2500 I have been using this reel for sea shore lure fishing after my previous reel suffered from ‘wind knots’. I have not had this problem with this reel and has worked well with braided line. The spool offers low casting resistance and I can achieve similar casting distances as with beach casting gear. The reel has a smooth action and works well with light gear. ## Features - Size: 4000, Ratio: 5,1:1, Weight: 335 gramm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B073FCK4KS | | Bearing Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Bearing Number | 4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 105,558 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 248 in Reels | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 469 Reviews | | Fishing Line Type | Wire | | Fishing Reel Line Retrieve | 25 Inches | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 3 Kilograms | | Fishing Technique | Castings | | Fishing technique | Castings | | Gearbox Ratio | 5.1 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022255211499 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hand orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Mixed | | Included Components | Fishing Reel | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.5L x 6.5W x 6.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | SAHARA 4000 REAR DRAG SPIN REEL BOX | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Item weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Line Capacity | 10/200 | | Manufacturer | SHIMANO | | Manufacturer Part Number | SH4000R | | Material | Blend | | Material Type | Blend | | Model Name | Sh4000r | | Model Number | SH4000R | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Rear Brake Adjustment, Fightin' Lever II | | Size | 4000R | | UPC | 022255211499 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Hand orientation:** Ambidextrous - **Colour:** Black - **Material:** Graphite - **Fishing technique:** Spinning - **Item weight:** 259 g - **Gearbox ratio:** 5.1 - **Special feature:** Rear Brake Adjustment, Fightin' Lever II - **Model name:** Sahara - **Handle material:** Aluminium, Stainless Steel ## Images ![Sahara Rear Drag - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51saw69b9DL.jpg) ![Sahara Rear Drag - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51y+4+p9m+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Reel *by P***H on 7 October 2020* I bought this reel (2,500) for trout fishing and have just returned from an extended fishing trip where I caught plenty of trout in the 2-3lb range and this reel handled the task brilliantly.

Would have liked a shallow match spool but that is only my preference and is not intended as to be a fault in any way. A very nice reel and very smooth. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano Sahara 4000R Rear Drag Spinning Reel - KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line - Abrasion Resistant Braided Lines – Incredible Superline – Zero Stretch – Smaller Diameter – A Must-Have! - Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Fishing Rod --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51650608-sahara-rear-drag](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51650608-sahara-rear-drag) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
