5.0 out of 5 stars Great fishing reel, and you can't beat the price, November 6, 2010

After my old reel broke from one day of chum and coho salmon fishing, I bought the Sienna 4000FD. It works great. Handles the bigger fish no problem (I have only used it for salmon fishing). You definitely can't beat the price for this quality of a reel. If you need a good spinning reel, and don't have a lot of money, buy this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sienna 1000 size, December 21, 2011
These are good reels for the money. They are smoother than they have a right to be at this price. Mostly they have some niceties missing that you'll get by spending 20 bucks more. By niceties I mean this reel has a hard plastic handle knob rather than rubber, a sticker on the spool indicating line capacities rather than being painted on and a cheaper paint job. The only thing I noticed different about mine and a more expensive Sonora while fishing was the slippery hard plastic handle knob. Also the drags are not particularly strong, but they are fairly smooth letting line out. In my experience, this is a good choice in reels unless you want to spend considerably more.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a bargin for a very nice reel, April 16, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: The Shimano Sienna Fd Spinning Reel (Sports)
This seems to be a very nice reel. I have only used it two times since I bought it, so I can not comment on its durability. The reel has performed flawlessly so far. I filled it with a 10 lb test high quality braided "super" line. I recommend this line because it works so well on spinning gear. This type line doesn't have much problem with line twist, and has no "memory" problems. It's monofiliment equivilent size is about 2 lb test. Sometimes I tie on a 3 ft., 6 lb flourocarbon leader for very clear water. With this line I can cast light lures with no problems. The drag on the reel is very smooth, and it is very smooth to crank too. Overall, this Sienna 2500 appears to be a real bargin at this price.
