Just bought a new Sahara, No anti reverse on the new model. I've had these reels 10 years ago, and they had the anti reverse then, for that reason I wouldn't buy another one. I'll stck with my Diawa Fuego spinning reel.. 1 Quote

Or is it anti reverse is always on? I wouldn't want either. Quote

I wouldn't want a reel with full time anti reverse-rarely, but sometimes I like to back reel when fighting a fish. Often I switch it off to adjust the line, usually to back the lure off the tip if I reeled it up too far. Opening the bail takes a little line, so it jams it into the tiptop more. Releasing the anti reverse is better. Significant mistake, Shimano. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 26, 2019 Global Moderator Posted September 26, 2019 Daiwa Revros, I've got a few of them now. Smoother than my Presidents and can be found even cheaper than one on Ebay. I like the shallow spools on the new models so I don't waste a bunch of line too. I've had them out in all kinds of weather, including some really heavy rains, no binding issues. Shimanos binding spinning reels was the beginning of the end of my love for their reels. 1 Quote
Crow Horse Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I took a gamble and picked up a Piscifun Carbon X (3000) earlier this year. I liked it so much that I bought another one and is now my "go to" reel. Price point is around $80 and is worthy of consideration...... 1 Quote
