Quick take
High-speed saltwater and freshwater spinning reel with 11 kg max drag and solid line capacity for versatile fishing.
The Shimano Sedona C5000XG is a 2017 spinning reel in the large 5000 size, with an extra-high gear ratio for faster line pickup. It weighs about 300 grams and has a maximum drag of 11 kilograms, which suits heavier freshwater and light saltwater work. It handles monofilament, fluorocarbon and braided line, so it fits anglers who switch between line types.
