Shimano Sedona FE Spinning Reel

Not a bargain basement reel, but not one that will break the bank either - that's what the Sedona spin reels are all about. This new reel lineup includes two Compact Body large spool/small body models (the 3000 and 5000) in addition to the standard 1000, 2000, 2500, and 4000 sizes, so all the light line bases are covered. But if you're fishing braid and have to pour on some heat in a hurry, the drag power the Sedonas pack will come as a pleasant surprise - three kilos for the 1000, and up to nine kilos for the 5000. Spin reels have certainly come a long way in that department over recent years. Varispeed II for enhanced line lay is delivered by extra teeth on the main gear, while the unique spool lip design of the Propulsion Line Management System on the AR-C spool increases distance by preventing wind knots, and smaller loops coming in contact with the stripping guide. A retrieve speed of 5.0:1 to 5.2:1 (depending on the reel model) covers nearly all the bases. Three SA-RB and one roller bearing round out what are going to be a very much in demand spin reel series.
