    Shimano are putting higher end technology into their mid range products. Example Stella tech into their stradics. I still have the white colour stradic and an older sedona which is a 4000 size.

    Done, done and done. It's your fault Starlo, it's your fault that the bulk of my fishing tackle is Shimano. I remember watching you and others on the TV and in the magazines back in the 80s and 90s, (Seems so long ago now). I often wondered what happened to all the 'famous' fishos. Now I know. Anyway, keep up the good work. All the best.

    I’m still using a Sedona 750FB and 1500FB on my good bream rods, but they’re getting a little long in the tooth, so these may be the perfect upgrade!

  • @justinadams5159
    @justinadams5159 Рік тому +5

    Yeah I’ll definitely take a rain check on the Sedona reel comp, as don’t like any reel that doesn’t have a screw in handle, my personal experience with the Daiwa reels made me aware of the BIG difference between say a Legalis (bolt handle) and my T.D. Black in 2500 model (screw in) the Black miles better. I’d rather leave it to a winner who would appreciate it.
    Just in case yr listening, you may remember me complaining about not getting any and yr encouragement and support in my distress was greatly appreciated. Anyway I just came second in a comp up here on the Mid North Coast. A multi-Species comp with a 3 fish limit in each Species catagory and an A.P.P. Where you photograph fish on brag mat. So exciting for me, one of my fish was a 67cm Flattie!! Stay well Starlo.😮

    • @StarloGetsReel
      @StarloGetsReel  Рік тому +1

      Good stuff! So glad to hear you’re catching them and congrats on your performance in that comp!! I tend to agree with you re handle construction. I assume it’s all price driven. But I must say, the more “budget” reels have improved a LOT in recent years. Tight Lines, Starlo

  • @teter129
    @teter129 2 місяці тому +1

    Great Video. I really wish I could find a video covering the differences in the Sedona line (FJ vs FI). I’ve searched all over the interwebs, and NADA! I’ve got a 5000 Sedona FI on my shore/surf rig, and a 2500 Sedona FJ on my inshore/ boat rod. (Florida, USA fishing) I wish someone like you would unpack the differences and/or benefits of each in the Sedona line of products. You do a great job of explaining things.

    I just picked a Sedona 2500 up for my 6"6 Johnny Morris carbon lite rod and honestly it feels and looks a lot like my Stradic shares a lot of the same specs and feels smooth as all hell like Shimano always does. That smooth feeling is why I'm a return customer no other company makes reels that consistently make reels this smooth with a 20lb drag and fantastic reel arm ergo/shape. I even have a nexave from a few years ago from the much cheaper line on a Sellus rod and it's still just as smooth as day 1. I actually pulled in a 7.13lb large mouth last year on it no problem at all. I seem to get asked a lot as to why I prefer so much drag and honestly it comes down to fishing heavy moss/pads and the fact I fish a ton of soft plastics and it's not all that rare to pull in a channel cat lol.

  • @theadventuresofcaptainover1494

    They're great little reel for bream, flatties,taylor and the like.. I ve had 2500 sedona for years and even caught reasonable snapper on lures in the washes around Coffs harbour years ago .. these days I use it for grunter, blue salmon and mangrove jacks up here in Gladstone Qld.. still have the same bearings and drag washers as these fish don't pull heaps of line thus the drag stays coolish and hasn't worn out yet.. the trick is correct maintenance of bearings, washers and cleaning of reel after use

    10 odd Years ago, when i bought a Starlo stix combo from Big W it came paired with a Sedona 2500FD. Coped a real hiding over the years and only recently started showing it age. Who ever Wins this Reel will be very happy with it. It was my Favorite Reel. I'll be Honest Starlo. If i won it.. I could't fish with it after i knew it had been graced by your touch!! 😂 I'd have to get you to sign it so i could just admire it 👍.

That’s the biggest problem I have beach fishing is dogs have nearly been attacked a few times crocodiles are not a worry 😊
