Shimano Sedona 500FJ Spinning Reel
Shimano’s state-of-the-art HAGANE Gear technology lies at the heart of the redesigned Sedona FJ spinning reel. Incorporating HAGANE cold-forging technology into the Sedona FJ gives it a step up from other reels in its class and provides long-lasting smoothness and durability for assured resilience even after countless battles with your target species.
The Sedona FJ series now features Shimano’s SilentDrive technology to remove unnecessary noise and vibration while creating a quieter and smoother reeling experience. Sedona FJ’s enhanced spool design features Shimano’s Propulsion Line Management System for increased casting performance, while G-Free Body technology shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod for better balance and improved casting accuracy.
