Manufacturer's Description: An entry-level model that enhances "winding" performance. The Sedona, known for its reliable fishing performance and reasonable price, has been renewed. The core of its evolution is the Silent Drive, which is also featured in flagship models. It significantly reduces minute play, gaps, and vibrations between internal components, transforming it into a reel with smooth rotation and quiet winding feel. It has become easier to use for lure fishing, where a delicate winding feel is essential. 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, a thorough and serene unity down to the details. The basic design of the entire body and each drive-related component has been reviewed, thoroughly eliminating minute play, gaps, and vibrations. 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 and quiet winding feel at a dimension.
FEATURES:
HAGANE: Shimano's design philosophy that utilizes metal processing technology to create truly usable products. Robustness that can withstand harsh conditions. A refined winding feel that stimulates the senses and reliable operability. And lifting power that exceeds imagination. By earnestly pursuing reels that anglers can genuinely use, HAGANE gears and HAGANE bodies are created, embodying Shimano's belief. Everything is for the anglers.
HAGANE Gear: The goal is an unchanging winding feel. A solid block of metal is pressed at high pressure, finished with micron-level precision without cutting. This unique technology, known as precision cold forging, produces hard and resilient gears, enabling smooth winding.
G Free Body: The sliding function component for moving the spool back and forth is 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, reducing fatigue from casting and improving 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.
