Entice hungry fish into smashing your lure

Thinking of putting together the perfect softbaiting set up? The Shimano Sahara C3000FI HG Backbone Softbait Combo is a great option. This combo comes with the versatile Sahara reel - smooth and powerful. It's paired up with the Backbone rod which features top quality components that will stand the heat of battle.

The Reel
The new Shimano Sahara C3000FI HG Spinning Reel is a powerful spinning reel with unparalleled durability at its price point. Incorporating X-Ship and HGN Gearing in its G-Free Body, it offers performance and value that will appeal to novices and experienced anglers alike.

Hagane Gear
With amazing strength and durability, the Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the logn-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. 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. It's the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit of durability, strength, and power of forged metal, and continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

XShip
Xship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive fear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and fear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

G-Free Body
G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler's hand position, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Softbait Spin Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
