As far as I’m concerned, the Shimano Sedona is the best spinning reel for the money hands down! I just retired my 2500 after 20 years of fresh and saltwater use! I have a newer one hanging up in my man cave and am looking forward to another 20 years of fishing with it… if I live that long 🥴🎣
Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
I got mine for 20 bucks on clearance at the walmart super excited to use it
My first trout reel was a Shimano FG 1000 and it did well for a 20 dollar reel. I purchased a Nasci 1000 and loved it. Figured I try out the Sedona 1000 and got it at 49.00 bucks at Academy with a coupon. Can't wait to try it out. I do believe it will stun me with value as all my previous Shimanos have. Great review!
It’s a good buddy reel for that buddy that has a better grip on his beer than your $400 rod and reel set up. You all know who I’m talking about, too. He picks up your most expensive set up, holds the reel upside down, reels lure up tight into the tip top, reels the fish with a foot of the end of the rod, and is making artwork out of your outboard cowling, hitting it with the rod and lures every other cast.
We all know a "buddy" lol. Thanks for the comment
I’m dying at this comment bruh😭😭😭
This is a perfect comment 🤣
I went fishing out of South Pass and fished with my friend's 2500. I caught Trout 2 at a time, Snapper, and a 4.5 foot Blacktip. I was impressed with how well it performed. Oh I also caught a big stingray on it too.
I use sedona 2500 for squid eging for years off shore. Rinse with water every after trip. Worth the money. Still runing smooth. Very recommended reel.
That’s awesome. What exactly is squid eging?
@@humbugvideos fishing squid 🦑
Search youtube video "squid eging"
@@AndapongK will do, thanks
The exact complaints you have with the sedona have been addressed and is the newer nasci. Sealed and screw in metal handle for $25-$30 more. Still, my two yrs old sedona gets used in the surf, mostly casting metal to Spanish etc and it's still solid. I keep it rinsed and put a little oil in each handle bearing a few times a year. Maintenance is key with the cheaper reels like this. Good video
Really want the new Nasci, looks amazing
The beauty of cheap reels is that you can just stack up on them and switch them out as they go (and often they last at least two seasons or more for me). I do have sealed reels, but I still in many cases prefer to use cheaper reels inshore. Bashing up a Stradic on the rocks would feel sad, a Sedona or a MaxPro on the other hand, not so much.
Just bought the 4000xg for 70$ canadian. I love it. Its kinda light , precise and smooooth as can be. It as 24lbs of drag witch i dont even need but its nice to know i could eventually get a bigger rod to handle it.
My father still has his shimano reels from japan of his teenage years ( 2 that i was using recently but the weight made me want to try newer / lighter ). I can'twait to see if it'll be the case with this one for me.
You’ll love it! Still use mine all the time even since when this video dropped
I bought a daiwa revros and daiwa legalis. Unbelievably smooth. Daiwa reels have the perfect balance between smooth and tough. And Shimano uses thin bail wires. A $20 Daiwa sweepfire has a thicker bail than a $70 Sedona.
Even tho I'm a Shimano person through and through. I picked up a cheap 50$ Daiwa revros LT and I'm liking it so far we will see how long it lives. Keep up the reel reviews.
The low budget Diawa reels are incredible! I love my Exceler. Glad you enjoyed!
@@humbugvideos
I wanted the Exceler but bought the Legalis (saved a few $ used non 2021) so how does it compare to the Sedona or Sahara?
Thanks!
@@IAMGWH1 Haven’t used the Legalis yet, but it feels really good. You should have a great time fishing it
@@humbugvideos
Thanks!
Literally between this reel and daiwa revros
I’m getting this reel free off Temu. I will be using it for Australian estuary fishing. Thanks for the review
What a intro, great stuff man
Appreciate it!
Sedonas are a workhorse. You are right about Okuma Ceymar. The Ceymar HD os a beast
Love from London UK urban fishing here catching pike perch zander and chub our zander is like your walleye ...subbed
Zander are pretty cool, I’ve seen some videos on em before. Appreciate the support!
I like the Sedona but it’s essentially the FX, Siena and Naxave. It has the same body, bearings count )other than FX). The only difference is the aluminum gears the Sedona has. I own all three and I find myself using the FX because its so cheap that if I brake it, it’s not a great deal.
I haven’t used an FX in a long time, but had one and fished the crap out of it. Great reel! Thanks for the comment and great insight
That Sedona 1000 spool os bigger than the spool of fx and sienna red.
@@lavakarusa what? That doesn’t make any since. Shimano has standard spool sizes for all their reels. Look it up.
@@Tightt88 nope. I was also surprised. I have the reels here. I can send a pic for the group and make debate 👍
@@lavakarusa either way, the aluminum gears in Shimano reels suck. And Shimano over charges for their reels.
Been fishing yellowtail in FLA. Keys with Sedona's for 15 yrs. ..just rinse them and they'll last as long as any inexpensive reel. Any reel you don't rinse gets ruined.😬
Mine will soon arrive..
You'll love it!
@@humbugvideos I think so after watching your review.
Just got sedona c3000 waiting to try it out on lake, i have sfc 3000 Catana for 4 years still working, daiwa reels use to tangle braid, Shimano never 👌
Found one for only 46 dollars!!!😱😱😱😱😱
Why am I so lucky?
is the sedona still good after long use?
I’ve had it for for awhile now and there’s no signs of it stopping anytime soon💪🏽
The Sedona is one of the best low cost spinning reels on the market and have been since they came to market .. I still own and use my Sedonas purchased back in the 90s no problems ever with any of them and I own 5 .. The Sahara is great as well … own 3 newer versions and they’re great … Then you step up to the best money can buy the Stradic fl
Great explanation thank bro from sri lanka 🇱🇰
dig the reviews man
Thank you, glad your enjoying em!
how did you grate it with the snow...?it seems to have double dangerous meaning...
I’m getting the 5000 model for the reel and do you think I can put 200 yards of 20lb line
Gotta check the specs! Go on shimano website they have all the info there👍🏽
Hi great review, gonna pick this up. I am beginning may I know what lines you use for your Sedona? I tried cheap line and the memory was so bad :(
All depends on what your using it for?
@@humbugvideos Just normal river fishing, whenever I cast the line memory is so bad like spiral
@@anonygummy2359 if your river fishing for trout or bass with no grass/weeds, 10 lb braid should be fine. River fishing in grass or heavier conditions I’d go up to 20-30!
I wonder if this reel could handle a mekong catfish that weight around 10kg/22lbs, those are like the norm fish here in my country.
I’m sure the 5000 size would work, I think there’s better options tho
sir this reel is good or bad
got the 4000 reel for creek cats
Dicks sporting goods has them for 39.99 right now about to order 3 of them.
Just bought 2 of them on clearance at Walmart for $28 each
Woah!
How Much 10lb Line Does The 3000 Model Of This Reel Hold?
This model is still sold, so I’d check their website. They have the specs for every model
Are you local to lake commanche? Let's go!
Nope, I’m in Idaho now but I know that area pretty well!
reel with elegance my friend, with elegance... autentic truchas fishing machine. i have buy one, I go now for try it
thinking about getting this in a 1000 and pairing it with a 6’2 dobyns seirra trout and panfish ultra light i was better this reel and the daiwa revros lt 1000 but i already gave it and love it just want to try something different thats highly rated similarly
I prefer this over the revros, both would make an awesome setup tho. Haven’t used the dobyns panfish rods but if it’s anything like the rest of their products I’m sure it’s awesome. Great setup, and thanks for the comment!
@@humbugvideos thank you so much for your input im thinking about pairing it up with the tfo trout and panfish as well that’s another favorite of a lot of people you know anything about that rod yourself
@@seadoe it seems alright, I think there’s better options tho. Check out my reviews playlist, there’s tons of good rods in there!
@@humbugvideos ok awesome i’ll definitely give it a look
dicks having a sale on them. for 59.99. It's like buying 3 get 1 free. Bought them to replace a couple of my siennas and giving one to a friend. First time I've ever seen shimano on sale.
Now 39.99
@@garrybattle8908 I know. I bought 4, and have to return 3. LOL.
@@ex8280 why what happened something wrong with them? Or you only needed one?
@@garrybattle8908 Nothing was wrong with them, I bought 3 at 59. Saw the new sale price the next day, and bought 4.
I haven't used the 2500 yet. Do you think it will last me as I just put it on my rod?
you should be fine! 2500 holds more line which is nice is u target bigger fish.
Just picked mine up for $52
I need one for ultra light
They make a 500 and 1000 size perfect for ultralights!
Until you find out a lot of them make this whirring noise out the box and now ya gotta return it. 🙄
guard ring bearing is too far ....dnt buy this Sedona...make your main like fried mee...
Sedona 6000 rep 😂
