Quick take
An entry-level spinning reel with three ball bearings and a G-Free spool that shifts weight toward the rod hand to reduce fatigue.
The Sienna FG in size 2500HG is a front-drag spinning reel built around a higher-speed gearing of about 6.2:1, so it picks up line quickly. It carries a stainless steel bearing set, an aluminum handle and an ambidextrous handle that fits on either side. Shimano's G-Free Body and Propulsion Line Management System are aimed at longer casts with fewer wind knots, which suits light inshore and freshwater spinning.
Best for
- Beginning and youth anglers
- General freshwater spinning with light to medium lures

Strengths
