Comments about Shimano Shimano Sienna FD Spinning Reels:
I use this reel for fishing 2-4lb test on an ultralight rod. It works wonderfully with small jigs and tiny crank baits as well as live bait. I fish for Yellow Perch,Crappie,White Bass and Wipers.
Comments about Shimano Shimano Sienna FD Spinning Reels:
I am a tournament ice angler and I have had no problems with this reel. I own 2 and will buy more in the future. The instant anti-reverse and even spooling of my 2# line are my favorite features.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Sienna FD Spinning Reels:
This is a pretty solid little reel. I have the 1000 and spooled it up with some 4lb test mono, casts amazing for such a compact reel. Very smooth on the retrieve, have experienced no line twist or tangles in 3 months of fishing since I got this reel, so a total of 10 fishing trips without issue. Haven't caught any real big fish yet with it, but I did crank in a good size pickerel with plenty of fight in him, the drag was pretty smooth but felt just a bit under powered to me. Overall, for the money, this would be a tough reel to beat for all around smooth performance with SUPER long casts.
Comments about Shimano Shimano Sienna FD Spinning Reels:
My old spinning reel finally wore out and while I wanted a good quality reel, i did not want to take a 2nd mortgage out to pay for it. This reel has good performance at a reasonable price.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Sienna FD Spinning Reels:
Bought because it's small, light and has a good reputation for reliability. It fits well in my pack for backpacking in Colorado, and is convenient for float fishing.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Sienna FD Spinning Reels:
This is a well constructed reel; a good, economical way to go. Did you read: SALT WATER APPROVED? I will be purchasing a second reel for my kayak passengers.
Note: I have not had this reel on the water yet. But by thorough examination, it should perform well.
