Shimano Sedona FI Spinning Reel
The iconic Shimano Sedona has stepped up a gear with the FI series.
In the pursuit of engineering excellence, Shimano has 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.
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 centre of gravity closer to the rod, improving casting performance and reducing angler fatigue.
To improve casting performance, Shimano’s AR-C Spool design produces longer casting distances and reduces the formation of backlashes and wind knots, while 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 and with 8 models in the series ranging from 1000 up to 8000, all feature 3+1 bearings and the drag output varies between 3kg up to 11kg depending on the model. Within the 8 models are shallow compact models and compact models to deliver a range that provides the answers to all fishing scenarios.
Drawing upon the benefits of Shimano’s market-leading technologies and finished in
stunning silver and gold cosmetics, the Sedona FI series represents exceptional value at a price that is accessible to all anglers.
