Manufacturer's Description: An entry-level model that enhances the performance of "reeling." While equipped with reliable fishing performance, the Sedona, which has been supported by many anglers for its affordability, has been renewed. The core of this evolution is the Silent Drive, also featured in flagship models. It significantly reduces minute gaps, spaces, and vibrations between internal parts, transforming it into a reel with smooth rotation performance and quietness. It has become easier to use for lure fishing, where a delicate reeling feel is important. From the 500 size for light game to the C5000 size targeting larger fish, it offers 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 driving-related components have been re-evaluated one by one, thoroughly eliminating minute gaps, spaces, and vibrations down to the details. The areas of improvement include the drive gear, worm shaft, worm shaft pin, worm shaft gear, and sliding gear, among others. It achieves 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 allows continued use even in harsh conditions. A delicate reeling feel that stimulates the senses and a reliable operational feel. Furthermore, lifting power that exceeds imagination. By earnestly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, it gives rise to HAGANE gears and HAGANE bodies, becoming Shimano's belief. Everything is for the anglers.
HAGANE Gear: The goal is an unchanging reeling feel. A solid block of metal is pressed at high pressure and finished with micron-level precision without cutting. This unique technology, known as precision cold forging, creates hard and durable gears, enabling smooth reeling.
G Free Body: The sliding functional parts for the spool's forward and backward movement are positioned at the top of the reel body, successfully bringing the center of gravity closer to the hand. This enhances the sense of unity with the rod, leading to reduced fatigue from casting and improved 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.
