SHIMANO Siena Spinning Fishing Reel

Product Information

It is quite remarkable how good the less expensive Shimano reels are. If you are an experienced angler looking to buy a reel for a new fisherman, a youngster or perhaps you want a spare reel for your own use, you’ll be surprised at how good the Sienna feels. Whilst it might not have the technology of the more expensive Shimano models, it is still a Shimano and that counts for a lot. It’s a reel that any young or inexperienced angler would want to own and use. This is a key feature of the rear drag Sienna. Varispeed is a technology that gives your reel a constant speed, which means that the line is laid evenly on the spool. With a flat lay, you will be able to control the line much more easily and make longer casts. This is an especially good option for anglers who prefer rear drag models. As there are generally fewer options available. Comparison With Other Models From Shimano This prevents the reel from rusting and allows you to use it for many years. Besides, the Shimano Sienna uses much of the same technology as the more expensive reels. This includes Dyna-Balance, Super Stopper II, Varispeed, and more. This is what makes the Sienna stand out from the competition. It is very difficult to find a similar reel with such technologies for such a price. So the Sienna is a very powerful budget fishing model. Shimano Sienna Comparison With Reels Of Other Brands The Shimano Sienna RE reel is a low-end rear drag spinning reel is perfect for every angler who likes to fish occasionally, experience the great quality of Shimano but not break the bank in a costly reel. This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing 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.

The Shimano Sienna is a great entry-level reel with three important features – M-Compact body to ensure a better grip and better casting. Propulsion technology in the gear to support pinpoint accuracy and long-distance casting in any conditions SSII technology to support the rotor in counterbalancing. Both models have almost identical gear ratios. The FG has 5.2:1, and the RE has 5.1:1. This ratio is great if you’re out for smaller fish.The 500 and 1000 models of the Sienna are perfect for throwing light lures with an ultralight spinning rod for throwing lures for crappie and fishing trout in rivers and streams, as well as blue gill and other panfish. Pair them with the best braid line and some great fluorocarbon leader, and you have a great outfit in your hands. In my opinion, the Shimano Sienna is a fantastic reel for its price. It’s a great option for those who want a reliable and high-quality reel without breaking the bank. The only downside I can think of is that it’s a bit bulky, but that doesn’t take away from its overall performance. The retrieve is smooth, which is surprising given the low number of ball bearings. The reel’s roller gear will give you anti-reversing with an easy-to-access control switch set in the base. The Shimano Sienna reel has carved a niche for itself in the world of fishing gear, balancing sophistication and functionality in a way that few others can. An investment in superior, top-notch performance that has been designed to enhance your fishing experience to the next level. Comments:Very good reel for the money. Bought to have a spare on a trip to Lake Erie. Ended up using the reel most of the week and caught several 4 to 5 pound smallmouth and up to 10 pound drum. Used the reel throwing Ned rigs. Again very good reel plan on buying another!

As mentioned, the Sienna is an affordable reel that is often overlooked due to its low price point, but it is a great option for anglers on a budget. The 10-year warranty that Shimano provides speaks volumes about their confidence in the product’s durability and quality.Shimano started its business by creating cycling equipment but diversified into the production of top quality fishing reels in 1970. The Shimano UK division of the company was set up shortly after, in 1988. Sienna is inexpensive, but we cannot classify it as a low-end reel, so you can ignore this disadvantage. When used, both models, both RD and FD, performed very well. The front drag Sienna is more popular, but that doesn’t mean your choice should be based on that. Choose the type of reel that suits you best. Shimano Sienna Highlights The Shimano Sienna 4000 fishing reel has been around for a while and is still one of Shimano’s most popular reels. It comes in both right and left-handed models, making it great for either-handed anglers. If you were to ask many an angler to name the flagship small spin reel in the Shimano range you’ll have a very large percentage say the Stella, without hesitation. And yes, it is beyond doubt the pinnacle of Shimano spin reel design and engineering. For many other Shimano fans however, they will give you a remarkably different answer. Most anglers would be stunned to learn just how many experienced anglers carry a Sienna as their go-to utility around the inshore grounds. The Sienna reel is one of the cheapest spin reels offered in the Shimano fishing reel range. It is in every way an entry level spin reel, but for many well-travelled, experienced anglers, it’s the Sienna that puts Shimano at the pointy end of spin reel manufacturing.
