Shimano Sedona FJ Reel FAQs
What are the main benefits of the Shimano Sedona Reel?
The Sedona provides silky smooth Hagane gear performance, long-lasting durability and versatile usability at an affordable price point. Enhanced features also improve casting capability for awesome fishing functionality without costing a premium.
What types of fishing is the Sedona Reel best suited for?
With sizes ranging from 1000 to 5000, Sedona models can cover light estuary fishing for bream and whiting right up to battling bulky Murray Cod and saltwater jewfish. To assist you in making the best decision on what size reel to purchase, we have crafted this handy little buying guide.
Shimano Sedona 1000 FJ Reels are great little reels for freshwater and light saltwater fishing, ideal for targeting anything from bream to whiting, trout and bass. We suggest matching with a graphite fishing rod with a line rating around the 1-4kg mark.
Shimano Sedona 2500 FJ size reels are the next step for those wishing to fish with slightly heavier fishing lines or desire more line capacity. In fact, out of all the sizes we sell, the Sedona 2500 FJ Fishing reel is our biggest seller by far. It's such a great little versatile reel. We suggest pairing it with a graphite spin-type fishing rod with a rating of around 2-5kg.
Shimano Sedona 3000 FJ Reel is that reel that suits the angler who desires a little bit bigger for heaver inshore fishing targeting big flathead or tailor in lakes and rivers, etc. Ideally, a suitable rod for this reel would be a graphite fishing rod with a line rating of around 3-6kg.
Shimano Sedona 4000 FJ Reels are suited to heavier inshore fishing, such as fishing for Murray cod, barramundi, and jewfish and can even be used as a heavier reel for bait fishing for bream, flathead and other estuary and lake fish species. The reel also makes a great light beach or rock fishing reel to chase bream, whiting dart and more. But it doesn’t stop there; the Shimano Sedona 4000 FJ Reel makes a great light offshore reel for reef and light sport fishing.
Shimano Sedona 5000 FJ Reels are suited to the same specs as above; the only difference is the line capacity; the Shimano Sedona 5000 Reel holds more lines and weighs a few grams extra, that’s it! So, if you want a reel with more line capacity, go with a 5000.
When matching a rod with a Sedona 4000 or 5000, we suggest that it be matched up on a rod around 6-8ft for heavier inshore. Match it to a bait rod rated anywhere around the 3-6kg mark or on a graphite lure rod rated up to 10kg for catching barra, cod and snapper. We suggest a light 9ft to 11ft graphite coastal surf rod rated around 3-5kg+ for light surf fishing.
