The Reel
The legendary Sedona just got even better! Shimano introduces the new Shimano Sedona 2500 FI Spinning Reel. It's now made with strong and durable Hagane cold forged gear and features 3+1 bearings and 4kg drag output. The oscillation system is also upgraded to Varispeed for a consistent spool speed for excellent castability and even line lay. AR-C Spool for longer casts and Dyna Balance for enhanced sensitivity and smoothness.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

Dyna Balance
This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counterbalancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, Shimano is able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by the reel.

Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.

HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

The Rod
Designed to meet the demands of Kiwi anglers, the Shimano Salty Advance Mebaru S76UL-T Spinning Rod utilises Shimano's proprietary Taftec technology in the blank, giving it excellent sensitivity and feel, whist also being robust. It features Fuji stainless K and SiC tip.

TAFTEC
Shimano TAFTEC tips utilise a pre-stretched T-3500 directional yarn fibre with low resin saturation. This directional alignment of the fibres results in much less damage during the grinding process and results in a spineless construction which tests have shown to be much stronger, lower in weight, faster in action and more sensitive. TAFTEC is used where sensitivity is an important requirement of the rod.

Softube Top
Shimano Softube Top provides the sensitivity of an ultra-fine solid carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow construction. Softube Top construction can be found on models where sensitivity and finesse are both important requirements. The smooth, seamless action of Softube Top offers the angler an unrivalled experience for bite detection and fish-playing performance.
