S. LA Bassfishing Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Probably getting this reel in the 2500fd model sometime soon, any of you guys use it? Is it a good bass fishing reel? Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Welcome to Bass Resource. Fellow Louisiana guy here. To answer your question, I have a 2500 FD on a St. Croix and I love it. However, any posts relating to reels, rods, line, etc have their own forum area about halfway down the forum. Don't be surprised if this gets moved there. What uses are you wanting out of it? Quote
gripnrip Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I have 2 of them and love them. If I needed more spinning reels, they would be the one I'd buy. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 16, 2013 Super User Posted January 16, 2013 Great reel and you can get last years model for pretty cheap right now. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 16, 2013 Super User Posted January 16, 2013 I have two of them as well. Outstanding reel. Good size for most bass fishing too. You will not be disappointed. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 16, 2013 Super User Posted January 16, 2013 Its a Shimano, you cant go wrong. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 16, 2013 Super User Posted January 16, 2013 Great work horse of a reel... it will serve you well. 1 Quote
Sodus Bay Scooter Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Yep, great reel. Smooth retrieve and drag. Hardly any line tangles around the bail either. Priced right as well. Quote
thehooligan Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 i bought the sahara 2500 a few years back when i really got back into fishing, its a very smooth quality reel for the money. A bit heavy, but you dont get the lighter shimanos until you step up to the stradics... Quote
S. LA Bassfishing Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Glad to see alot of great reviews! Looking forward to getting it and will probably post a review myself after using it for a little while. Tight lines to all of you! Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 16, 2013 Super User Posted January 16, 2013 Saharas no matter what series they belong to are always excellent very reasonably priced reels. Quote
