I’m using the new Shimano 22 Sahara 2000S, it’s very nice and I like it a lot, I also have the Sedona 500 for my daughter to use it been great no complaints
Sedona c5000xg is powerfull and reliable, last month i has got 3kg threadfins fish on carita beach, indonesia And also shimano alivio 10000 was reliable for handling a big fish Really great products 😊
I've got a 4000 SEDONA FI and it's a tank...over 10 ounces before even adding line. The drag isn't too bad though it's actually decent and I agree they do hold up even in saltwater if you take care of them. However,a very noticeable difference in weight compared to my Vanfords. Looks like the new Miravel will be much lighter in that more affordable price range. Really looking forward to trying out a Miravel at the end of October.
great info. do you know the size in MM to order if I wanted to put a power handle on my C3000 HG FI . I can find the type of knob but know exAct info on what size is the handle assembly where it connects to the reel
Unfortunately I do not have access to specs like that. Your best bet is to contact the Shimano reel repair center for your area and ask them. The 3000 power handle (tee handle) will fit the 2500 no problem but I’m not sure if the thread changes on the 4000 and 5000
I have the Sedona 1000 and was wondering if anybody knows if I can use it for sabiki rig/ baitfish fishing in salt water….will it hurt the reel? If anyone knows please let me know
Salt will hurt any reel if they are not properly cared for and properly rinsed each time they are used. Don’t spray it hard with water as that drives salt into the open areas. Light rain style water works best. Also, a 1000 might be a bit light on drag depending what you are using the sabiki for. If you are catching blue runners and bigger baits go to the 2500.
Have you found a solution to this? both my sienna's did this too after a year of fishing with them. I have tried changing the bail spring, shimmying bail spring, greasing them, nothing seems to work.
