*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*
I’ve had the 500 series as my favorite go to for ice fishing. Smooth and little to no issues freezing up in the cold weather. Purchased a top of the line rod for this season. Of course rite to the store to pair a new shimano 500 with my new pole. They did not have any and found out they made the switch to new version.Being impatient i chose to pick up a Okuma Ceamar 10 reel. Paid more for this reel expecting a better quality to pair with this new rod, figured worth spending a little more.Let’s say that reel is now on a lesser liked setup, and new shimano is ordered on the way.Just from my experience as a avid ice angler, best bang for your buck. Love my shimano 500 series. Thank you for review can’t wait to see this new unit in my hand.
Using this 500 with a 4’6 Ugly on #4 in a kayak and its been awesome! Newly addicted to fishing but this reel is smooth for the price. Loving it and catching some good pans. Sorry if my lingo is wrong.
I have the 2000 model and pair it with my Jenko Crappie rod. I run 4lb mono with a 2ft 6lb floro leader. I haven’t got any bad experienced with my two years of owning the reel. It’s just a budget reel but work flawlessly so far.
That the only ultra light I will use for low profile baitcasting and spinning reels I’ll only use shimano but for round baitcasting I only use Garcia reels
no, he just didnt know. dont call someone stupid for something they had no way of knowing. thats like calling an 8 year old stupid for not knowing how to service a rotary engine.

Right on brother, I'm gonna slap this puppy on a 6ft Okuma Celilo
@Jeremiah Wright
Try it out bro and get a feel for it, u might need a smaller reel but hey I'm no pro
I have this reel on a Berkley 5' 6" light rod and I love it for my top water micro lures
does this reel have a ball bearing in the line roller?
Does the 3000 size in this really have 19 lb drag?
for bit fishing i use a 6’6 tfo panfish and trout ultralight and with a president but i’m building a 6ft rod and i may get this reel

Could you tell the exact name of the rod?
Bnm sams super sensitive 7 ft with this reel is 👌
Nice reel brother! I have one and Sienna 500 FD too, i used in my Ultralight fishing
Wife just picked me one up today
Beautiful reel

You should try the Okuma epixor xt and the pflueger president
@@thesovietonion4671 I call pflueger the annual reel you only get one good year out of them before they start stripping out
If u get it off Amazon it’s comes with a box.
Walmart carries it in my area now. Gonna pick one up.
you'll love it
I bought 1 and I have the drag maxed but the reel spins backwards and doesnt stay firm, what do I do
TheChromeCR Flip the little switch on the front
@@thechromecr3253 you're special ed 😂

Great reel at a great price...End of
I just got one in the mail, made in Malaysia, a little noisy though. maybe I need to oil it. Does look well made.
That’s weird, I can’t hear mine even if I put my ear up to it
Just got one from Walmart that was on sale for $9.50.
i put 12lbs mono dor this sienna 500 series.. ia that ok for 500 series with 12lbs mono line?
4 lb is best
