Quick take
A lightweight mid-size spinning reel suited for general freshwater and saltwater spinning.
This is Shimano's 2017 Sedona spinning reel in the 2500HG size, a compact model suited to light shore work, bass fishing and seabass-style jigging. Its 6.2 gear ratio brings line in quickly, and the aluminum handle and 245 gram body keep it easy to cast through a long day. Anglers moving up from an entry-level reel often look at this size when they want a lighter setup for finesse presentations.
Best for
- All-around freshwater spinning
- Light saltwater applications
- Beginners and intermediate anglers
Skip if
- You fish heavy structure; a more robust reel helps
- You need a high-speed retrieve over 6:1
Strengths
- Smooth 6.2:1 gear ratio suits steady retrieving and jigging
- Durable aluminum construction handles freshwater and saltwater
- Lightweight design reduces arm fatigue on long sessions
Trade-offs
- 4 kg max drag limits heavy-duty saltwater use
- 2500 size best suits light to medium line rather than heavy line
- No left-hand option noted for ambidextrous anglers
