What's the difference between Shimano Sahara FJ and Delphin BRONZ?

Shimano Sahara FJ 4000X

  • With a great drag score 10 out of 10 (11kg / 24,25lbs), the reel is built to handle big fish confidently.. whatever the setting, freshwater or inshore salt
  • With a score like 8.13 out of 10 (280g / 9,88oz), the reel feels light in the hand.. ideal for active techniques like twitching, jigging, or topwater.

  • Saltwater-safe design makes it perfect for spinning conditions.
