Manufacturer's Description: An entry-level model that enhances the performance of "reeling." The Sedona, known for its reliable fishing performance and reasonable price, has been renewed. The core of this evolution is the Silent Drive, which is also featured in flagship models. It significantly reduces minute play, gaps, and vibrations between internal components, resulting in a reel that offers smooth rotation and quietness. It has become easier to use for lure fishing, where delicate reeling is important. From the 500 size for light game to the C5000 size targeting larger fish, it provides a performance that satisfies both beginners and veteran anglers with a rich lineup.
Silent Drive, thoroughly refined for a serene sense of unity. The basic design of the entire body and the drive-related components have been reviewed one by one, eliminating minute play, gaps, and vibrations in detail. The areas of improvement include the drive gear, worm shaft, worm shaft pin, worm shaft gear, and sliding gear, among others. This has achieved smooth rotation performance and quietness at a level.
FEATURES:
HAGANE: Shimano's design philosophy that utilizes metal processing technology to create truly usable products. Robustness that can be used continuously even in harsh conditions. A refined reeling feel that stimulates the senses and a reliable operational feel. And lifting power that exceeds imagination. By earnestly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, HAGANE gears and HAGANE bodies are born, becoming Shimano's belief. Everything is for the anglers.
HAGANE Gear: The goal is an unchanging reeling feel. A solid piece of metal is pressed at high pressure and finished with micron-level precision without cutting. This unique technology, known as precision cold forging, produces hard and resilient gears, enabling smooth reeling.
G Free Body: The sliding function components that allow the spool to move back and forth are positioned at the top of the reel body, successfully bringing the center of gravity closer to the hand. This improves the sense of unity with the rod, reducing fatigue from casting and enhancing rod operability.
AR-C Spool: A spool with a special spool ring shape. This creates a line straightening effect, achieving both suppression of line troubles and long-distance casting performance.
