Quick take
A mid-size spinning reel with high-speed retrieve for quick lure working and topwater presentations.
The Shimano Sedona C5000XG is a large, ambidextrous spinning reel with a 6.2:1 gear ratio and about 11 kg of maximum drag. It weighs roughly 310 g and runs three ball bearings plus one roller. The big spool holds heavy mono, fluorocarbon or braided line, which suits anglers working bigger water or larger fish.
