For the first time in the Sahara lineup, Shimano introduces a rear drag system, giving anglers next-level control during the fight. Equipped with Fightin' Drag, this system allows for seamless, on-the-fly adjustments—so you can start with a light setting to hook your fish, then instantly dial up the power when the battle begins. The Fightin' Lever II makes fine-tuning drag effortless, ensuring smooth, controlled pressure exactly when you need it.

For even greater control and balance, select Dual Handle (DH) models provide a two-handed grip for smooth, precise retrieves—ideal for techniques that require steady cranking or when battling powerful fish. Whether you're chasing inshore bruisers or finesse fishing in tight quarters, the Sahara Rear Drag lineup is built to keep you in command.
