Just like mustbblind, I have both the Sahara (in 4000 size) and the Symetre (in 2000 size) reels. I like them both, great drag and smooth operation overall. I had to take apart the Sahara awhile back for cleaning due to sand getting inside while shore fishing at Red Fleet. I fished through a good wind storm and didn't think about covering it up while the sand around was getting kicked up. I got it working again but not as good as it was when I bought it. Overall, I'm pretty happy with these reels, just don't let sand get into them and practice regular maintenance and these reels will last for a long time.

P.S. BTW, I bought these reels at closeout prices from Fred Meyer (Sahara 4000) and Wal-mart (Symetre 2000), both at 50% or more off. Couldn't pass off the great prices.
