With the Shimano Sedona C4000XG FI Shimano have managed to once again make a mid priced reel which feels like a reel costing twice as much.
The XG model adds Hagan Gearing to the spec. sheet giving it a level of smoothness and power not normally associated with reels at this price point.
It is very smooth to use and the excellent line lay and spool design ensure long accurate casts with both braided and nylon lines.
The Shimano Sedona C4000XG FI is perfect for general lure fishing and the slightly larger capacity makes it ideal for longer casting. The XG model offers a faster retrieve making this a very good reel for working metals in shallow water as well as general fishing with hard baits.
