Enjoy a smooth, strong and reliable Shimano Sedona FD Spinning Reel for an affordable price! Shimano redesigned their Sedona FD Spinning Reels to incorporate top-of-the-line, performance-enhancing features such as their Propulsion Line Management System and the Power Roller III to give anglers the reel confidence required to meet any challenge. The Sedona FD Spinning Reel's lightweight graphite frame, sideplate and rotor provide tremendous strength and durability, with the Sedona FD's cold forged aluminum spool works in tandem with the Propulsion Line Management System's new spool lip design to deliver increased casting distance by minimizing friction and preventing backlashes. Although Shimano engineered the Sedona FD with improved features, the revamped Sedona FD still offers many of the same premium features found on Shimano’s original Sedona Spinning Reel including: exclusive S Concept technology, Dyna-Balance® system, Super Stopper® II, Fluidrive®, 4 shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing and cold forged aluminum spool.

Propulsion™ Line Management System: Five key components (spool lip, bail wire, roller, bail trip and cam) have been completely redesigned to reduce friction and promote uniformity of line movement. The result: more distance, less friction, fewer backlashes and wind knots, and greatly reduced line twist.

Super Stopper II is Shimano's exclusive instant anti-reverse system. Built with a one-way roller bearing that eliminates all back-play in the handle—for instant hooksetting power.

Power Roller III Part of the Propulsion Line Management System, Power Roller III reduces line twist by as much as 50%. Special grooved design assures that the line will wrap evenly on the spool.

Dyna-Balance® eliminates wobble on the retrieve by counter-balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. 100% computer balanced!

Fluidrive® gearing means that your reel was manufactured with the highest tolerances and utmost control in the gear-cutting process, to ensure a smooth, powerful retrieve every time.

Shimano S-Concept features ensure that your spinning reel will perform beyond expectations. Features vary by reel model, but may include a specially designed rotor, guard, roller clutch, and/or arm cam.

Line recovery in inches per handle turn.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 102 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by great reel Great value and quality. Drag sysytem is far supieror to anything in its price range.I am going to buy two more for my sons. The 1000 is perfect all around size for trout to bass. May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Reel For The Price I always say you get what you pay for... Not in this case. You get a lot more. I waited one year before writing this review to make sure that the reel kept working the same. I have used it with Power Pro Super Slick, and I have never had any issues. I fish 3 times a week at least, and have used it on every trip. I have caught plenty of fish that were over 5 pounds, and never had any issue with the drag. Get this reel if you are strapped for cash, but looking for a great reel. May 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Best Bang for the Buck I use spinning reels grudgingly, but this one is my go-to reel for flukes, frogs, and shaky head baits. I rig it with braid and floro leader and it cast like a dream. The drag is excellent, especially for a spinning reel. You get a great bang for a great price. May 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great freshwater reel This reel definitely wont let you down! I have ben using this 2500 for about 3 years and still works like a charm slaying tons of bass and catfish. Dont over think it and go get one! April 28, 2013

I am looking at using the Sedona 1000 with a 6.5 Berkley trout dough rod, 4# fluorocarbon line. I am a newbie fishing lakes in CA for trout and occasional small mouth bass. Am I on the right track with this set up as far as the trout are concerned? Any suggestions?

Answers

A: 
no go 2500 series at minimum for smallmouths

A: 
skip the fluorocarbon and go with a good mono...I've used Stren Magnathin 4# for over a decade and usually outfish many others...the 6.5 may be a bit long to balance with the little 1000 size reel...look at a slightly shorter rod unless you really need to cast very long distances...that little reel only holds so much line and will not cast a really long ways

A: 
This reel is not much different from any other fresh water reel. Over time if you dont keep it rinsed and well maintained if will show some pitting in the reel. If you only want a salt water reel I would look for a saltwater series. Otherwise just keep it well rinsed after every saltwater use as well as oiled and greased and you should be fine.

They are both good reels. You might check with your local tackle shop to see what others in your area are using or try them both out.

A: 
Yes and yes. We have ours lined with 20-pound braid. We use them for speckled trout with just a hook and a live shrimp...same for reds. Also use them offshore for sight casting to chicken dolphin to medium sized mahi again with just a single hook and bait.

A: 
Like everything else in sports "it depends"! Line weight, line material, hook size, worm/egg, etc. size and weight, and importantly, the rod length and weight. A long, soft rod will let you lob light bait a good distance if you have a light, limp line....as to the size of the fish, I have used a 1000 for reds up to 12 pounds and speckeled trout and flounder with no problem. I regularly use a 1000, a 1500, and a 2500 on freshwater and inshore saltwater almost interchangeably without concern. The reel doesn't lose fish, the fisherman loses fish. The 1000 is a great reel for whatever you are after; if the fish whips you with a small reel, strong line, and an appropriate rod, at least you have had a great time fighting him....

I have used a similiar BPS PQ Reel for years, and it is a good reel, however, I like my Shimano better for drag smoothness, and all around smoothness (reeling etc). PQ's do tend to corode a bit on the chrome parts.

A: 
If you are using a light action rod with this reel then very small lures should cast well. I've not cast any in the 1 to 3 gram weight. As for wind knots with very light line, yes, they will probably be a problem. I experienced it with 10 lb flourocarbon line when I was fishing in fairly stiff - 20 to 30 mph - winds.
