I was curious on what was the difference between the Shimano sahara 500 FI and the Sedona 500 FI for ice fishing.
I checked the schematics and can not find the extra bearing in the Sahara..

Re: 500 size shimano?
The Drive gear is different and I assume a better material, the left side drive bearing is different because of the drive gear dimensions. I'm sure both are fine reels and I do have the Sahara and feel it was well worth the money I paid for it.

Also looks like the Sahara has a slower gear ratio but not positive on that one. Sedona 5.6:1, Sahara 4.7:1
