SHIMANO SEDONA FI

www.shimanofish.com.au
The iconic Shimano Sedona has stepped up a gear for 2017 with the new FI series. In the pursuit of engineering excellence, Shimano has again raised the standard with the incorporation of the Hagane cold forged gear. By leveraging Shimano’s unique metalworking technologies, 200 tons of pressure is applied to the raw metal, resulting in a perfectly formed gear that is free from any machine cutting or imperfections. This transformation process is unlike any other in the world and was once reserved for reels within Shimano’s premium range. This is why the introduction of Hagane Gear into the Sedona series represents a significant step towards the ultimate in smooth, strong and durable fishing reels. In addition to Hagane Gear, the Sedona FI series features G Free Body, developed to shift the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod, improving casting performance and reducing angler fatigue. To further promote casting performance, Shimano’s AR-C Spool design produces longer casting distances and prevents the formation of backlashes and wind knots, whilst Varispeed II ensures even line lay, making the Sedona FI ideal for braided and monofilament line use. Dedicated to all light tackle pursuits, ranging from bream on bait to snapper on plastics. With 6 models in the series ranging from 1000 up to 5000 sizes, all feature 3+1 bearings and the drag output varies between 3kgs and 11kgs depending on the model. When compared to the previous Sedona FE model, the Sedona FI boasts a significant upgrade with Hagane Gear, a redesigned rotor that is lighter and an improved drag output on the 3000 through to the 5000 sizes. Drawing upon the benefits of Shimano’s market leading technologies and finished in stunning silver and gold cosmetics, the Sedona FI represents exception value at a price point that is accessible to all anglers.

My 3000 is spooled with 10lb braid , and a spare spool of 6lb mono. It's a beauty. I would have considered a 5000 / 6000 for my heavier line , but I wanted the better line capacity of a Daiwa BG 5000 , spooled with 50lb braid and a spare spool of 20lb.

[@sDawes94]

Is the Sedona okay for saltwater use or would the sahara or nasci be a better option

[@brodiemathews5139]

It’s a shame Shimano’s hasn’t even got back to on this by now I’m sure you’ve already got a reel but the Sedona is fine for saltwater the only difference between the Sahara and the Sedona is a different paint job and 1 extra ball bearing and the only difference between the Sahara and the nasci is that the nasci has core protect which isn’t even that great so I would just get the Sedona . I have a sedona 2500 btw and so far it’s been good. Just don’t go dunking it and it will be fine in saltwater as long as you maintain it well don’t blast the reel with a high pressure hose and don’t spray WD40 or spray lubricants on it .after fishing just wipe it down with a damp cloth and oil it every now and then I also like to put a drop of silicone spray on the line roller after fishing .

Is it good for saltwater

[@MarciaCristina-bg9no]

Reeling N' Revving it's alright just don't do anything like reeling it under saltwater

[@sferrell1987]

Reeling against a slipping drag? Someone must enjoy line twist.

[@edward5710]

[@MarciaCristina-bg9no]

What is the point of this? Doesn't really convey any information to customers. Total waste of time and money.
