Shimano Sahara SHC3000HGFJ Catana Softbait Combo 7ft 3-5kg 2pc

Entice hungry Snapper into smashing your lure

Thinking of putting together the perfect softbaiting set up? The Shimano Sahara SHC3000HGFJ Catana Softbait Combo 7ft 3-5kg 2pc is a great option. This combo comes with the versatile Sahara reel - smooth and powerful. It's paired up with the Catana rod which features top quality components that will stand the heat of battle.

The Reel
Compared to the previous generation, the new Saraha FJ is lighter in weight and boasts an entirely new body and rotor design. The G-Free Body technology of the Shimano Sahara SHC3000HGFJ Spinning Reel moves the center of gravity closer to the rod. This enhances your casting comfort and you won't feel knackered when fishing for a long time. The HAGANE Gear paired with X-Ship technology makes the reel strong and powerful so your gears stay in place even when retrieving big fish. The reel's SilentDrive technology eliminates the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles so you'll experience a less noisy and smoother reel operation. The Sahara has a screw-in handle design so you'll have enough space to crank without hitting your knuckles off the reel. So if you want a super smooth reel but don't want to break the bank, the Shimano Sahara SHC3000HGFJ Spinning Reel is a terrific choice.

G-Free Body
G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand position, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

HAGANE Gear
HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. By applying state-of-the-art technologies, Shimano gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, 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.

X-Ship
X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

SilentDrive
SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.

Propulsion Line Management System
The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano’s new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.

The Rod
The Shimano Catana Soft Bait Spinning Rod is every bit as sharp as the Japanese swords they are named after. It is constructed from tough graphite blanks, hardloy guides and cork and EVA grips. Plus, this rod has graphite reel seats. Light, strong, and sensitive - great for softbaiting.
