*This reel is perfect for me **enjoyable.fishing** recommend the price, the look, the drag. Just a little bit noisy if tension knob is not right on the click. If well ajusted...no backlash ! Love it !!*
My Shimano Sienna 2500 FE has been through sever fish over 6 pounds. Smooth, awesome drag, plenty of drag as well. Awesome reel. Works just as good as the day I had purchased it.
I own a Shimano Sienna and I have to say it is very well worth the money. I've accidentally dunked it in saltwater and it was still fine, all I did was take it apart, re-grease the main gear, and it was good as new. Very smooth and well built. I put 20lb braided line on it and it is my main reel I use when I go for surf perch.
They are extremely good little reels. I have both the older models and the new model and they are bomb proof. They won't be the smoothest but they will perform as they should for a very very long time.
@@smile1234happy well I just got the new version last spring. Time will tell but I caught some very nice lake trout with the newer model last year and it performed great. But the older model has been a fantastic reel and still is. If you can find an older model, I might give that model the nod. It just keeps going.
I own two of the older Siennas(4 bearing). The 2500 failed on my eighth outing. The 4000 has worked fine for close to two years(don't use it much). I just got two brand new Okuma Safina Pro SPa- 25 both of which were bad from the factory in the sealed box. Buying reels these days is a crapshoot. I might try Daiwa since I still use my d1000 that I bought 35 years ago and it still works fine.
Stephen Stalter lol your luck is horrible. I have never bought a bad reel. In fact I have an old quantum optix that I bought for 20 bucks at walmart 7 years ago. Plan was to use it once on a saltwater trip and toss it. To this day its seen over 50 saltwater trips and still reels in fish. Its now a sloppy reel so I use it for sabikis
I have both and love them I use a 3000 crossfire for steelhead and smaller salmon like coho and a 2500 sienna for the same purpose both on 9'6" rods with braid and they are absolute workhorses.
I've had all kinds of Shimano reels and was a Shimano man until I recently purchased a Daiwa RG AB. I must say that it beats the Shimano's and just about every category I now have five of them that I use for crappie fishing. For the money they're the smoothest spinning reel with the least amount of line twist that I have encountered.
I’ve owned several siennas in FD though, best reel I’ve ever owned for the price. I have two sienna 4000FD and I use them for saltwater surf fishing. I’ve had them for 4 years and they’ve battles being submerged many times, covered in sand etc and they still work, like new! My sienna 1000FD was quick to croak though, and that one only saw freshwater. The reel is approved for saltwater as well. Is the normal one approved for saltwater as well?
Reel rule #1 for me: the front drag adjuster have very smooth edges and low profile like the Daiwa. Casting into headwinds the line will catch the drag adjuster with more squared off edges like the Shimano.
Alluha Torrrez Same here. Always liked and owned Daiwa but went to Shimano 8-10 times. I always stop to look at Daiwa regardless. Lately though, instead of thinking "maybe next time" about the Daiwa I'm thinking that about Shimano and walking away with the Daiwa! LOL Really loving their stuff again. Edit: In fact, I just went through this very same thing. I purchased a Sienna 4000 and walked by the Daiwa display on my way out and had buyers regret after picking up the Crossfire 3000. LOL
I have the first gen Sienna 4000RD and 2500FD. The first gens have 4 bearings. Awesome reels! The new Siennas have 2 bearings now. If you find the olders ones, buy it!
Any big difference in performance between the 2bb and 4bb? Im looking for the 1000FD/4bb.. but cant find any in store ..500fd still in stock.. but i want a light game..or is it worth if i buy the 2BB,FE model?.. I am a very new player..
I have about 7 crossfires. The bail spring on the smaller size reels is the only thing i have had break. I use to be a shimano guy until about 7 years ago. Their quality has went downhill.
18 dollars what a steal 29.99 for mine. Shimano 2500. The daiwa does look cooler, but I’ve always fished shimano for my spinning gear. I do own daiwa bait casters both are good companies in my opinion but whatever I just want it to be spring.the waiting sucks.✌🏻🎣
I have 4 siennas have used them for about 4 years fish inshore and fresh have landed 25lb drum and 26 inch redfish. They are great reels i do not know why they lessened the bb on the new ones but will buy more Shimano reels all my friends use them as well.
Guys, I've got Shimano,Daiwas and Ryobi. I like to recommend non model from the topic 2. Try Ecooda Blackhawks 2000. 5+1bb.Aluminium body. Carbon rotor. Screw in handle. Low noise gearing. It's beautiful in black. Very light and cast like a dream ! They got good reviews by users in internet too !!!👍👍👍
@@titataman I don't have problems with hundreds of castings. I got Shimano baitrunner with gearbox problems. Problems reoccurcured after sending to official Shimano service centre. Just threw it away the 4500 ! Even Shimano failed ! Got lots of Daiwa models but no Crossfire. Tried Shimano Sahara. Very disappointed. Smooth but not strong !
I just got a 500 size Sienna. It must be a previous version though as it has a 4 bearing system. I like it a lot so far, seems a worthy replacement for the AX-ULS I've been using since 1992, lol. Are you going to put these through the ringer and update us on how they hold up?
Hi pk could you do a video of you using the shimano sienna? Have you fished with it? Does the.reel hold up well? Have you caught big fish on it? Or does it struggles
I have the 4000 sienna and the handle with get loose after catching a 22 inch striper, just got the crossfire 4000 for 25 on walmart.com only 4 left now if your interested
I'm having problems with the strap of my shimano fx 1000, which is the same as the Sienna. I think Shimano should have worked better on it, I'm getting a crossfire lt to replace the fx 1000, hugs from Brazil
Got the older version of sienna. Heavy usage for saltwater,many fish landed include gt. Never service. Still alive after 8 years. But now,the gear might stuck if you got fish in the line. Value for money. 👍
@Mr Shikadance i am still using it. But the gear getting worst. Now, i replaced it with shimano fx. It cost me around 70myr:16usd. Value for money. Landed many mekong catfish weight up to 15kg.hihihi..
@Mr Shikadance yes. Its simple calculation. Buy 1 high end reel cost you 100$,or buy 5 low cost reel worth 20$ each? If broken, still got spare reel to use. Hahahahaha
@Mr Shikadance but if your target are species like massive gt, amberjack, for sure you must invest in high performance reel such as saltiga n stella. 🙊
Hey guys I hope you can help me out. I'm planning to get the Shimano but I am not sure what kind of rod (medium light?) and line (size) I need to pair it with. I'm planning to fish on rivers or maybe in a pier. I am also wondering about the max weight (in pounds or kilos) of fish this reel can handle. I am planning to make fishing as a new hobby. I hope you can help me out. Thank you.
Excelent informative video. One question. I've seen some crossfires in online shopping pages showing the crossfire 2500 in hg format(6.2/1 ratio_35 inches per handle turn), but in the official daiwa site it doesn't appear any 2500 hg. Do you know if the 2500 do comes in hg format. Thanks.
The #shimano wins all day. I use a sienna for bottom bouncing trout I've caught countless fish on this reel and it's still solid. For the price the sienna is a great reel.
I have the older crossfire reels and they are garbage because they roll backwards when you set the hook. It's not a true anti reverse system. The new models look better and do have instant anti reverse.
Speaking from the experience of owning a lot of cheap spinning reels and going up to very expensive ones over time, I can honetly save ppl a lot of hassle by telling you to just save and buy a Shimano reel like the Nasci or better. The new Sahara is OK, but no core protect which is something really worth having if you want your reel to last a loong time. I have owned a few Sienna's and they do break down from heavy use. They are easy to opem, clean, regrease and even upgrade some parts, but for an extra $100, you can have a reel that you could likely dunk in water several times and still have it run smooth as butter. If you are a Diawa guy, same thing applies. Soend a bit more and you won't regret it years later.
Anime4 Mii nothing wrong with pfleuger. I prefer shimano but the pfleuger presidente and up are all nice reels for the money. I am not sure if they have any seals inside though so keep it as dry as possible.
I'm not totally sold on your theory. Yes a $200.00 reel should last longer than a $30.00 reel. My question is will a $200.00 reel out last six $30.00 reels? I really don't think so. I have a sienna that's going on eight years strong!
@@IAMGWH1 It's the old 3+1 bearing model. They are really good. But I honestly think the new models will last as long or longer simply because they don't have as many bearings. The new models are still super smooth but they cheaped out on the drag a little.
@@suckdonkeypunch Thanks I did buy the 2500fe and fished ok & smooth so I might change out the bushings with sealed bearings if I can get a great buy on them I guess and see what a difference it'll make.
Shimano is smooth but not as rugged as Ryobi Applause which are the most copied reels. I got lots of Daiwa and a few Shimanos. Crossfire is a cheap reel. The Regal 4bb,10bb Procaster is much more smoother. But my Daiwa BG ,black gold, the old ones were also much copied by Chinese and Banax. The new BG 4500 is awesome. So robust. Cheap reels don't last long even if it's Shimano or Daiwa.
@@ahmadalghali90 look at the Daiwa Aird X or LT...absolutely beautiful reels. I only use them in saltwater for throwing lures and they are smooth as to use
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
I find that Shimano is not great when it comes to low-end spinning reels. I have all different kinds of reels (like most people): Kastking, Shimano, Penn, Daiwa, Abu Garcia, Pflueger etc etc. I think the Abu Garcia Cardinal performs really well for a good price. The Pflueger Trion is a good low-end model, and I love the Penn Pursuit 3000.
Shimano looks better to Europeans. Gold color on a reel is as attractive to me as gold in someone's teeth. All reels should be black. Maybe white, if u want to be exotic, and thats it :) Joking aside, daiwa has more bearings and precision cut gears. Objectively, it is a better value.
More bearings don't make a better product. I would settle for a reel with one quality bearing over a reel with 20 poor rust prone ones. Bushings work great and usually last way longer. I'm not saying daiwa uses bad bearings but I don't think the extra two make it better.
@@matthewswanegan875 yeah I recently bought a sedona 2500 and a sedona 5000 didn’t really see the point spending extra $40 for a extra bearing and minor sealing . The Sedona where I’m from cost $99 and the nasci $139 Australia’s prices are different to US prices lol and also the sienna’s here cost $56

Shimano is smoother. But Daiwa gears much better and last longer and robust ! I lean towards Daiwa

I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
I find that Shimano is not great when it comes to low-end spinning reels. I have all different kinds of reels (like most people): Kastking, Shimano, Penn, Daiwa, Abu Garcia, Pflueger etc etc. I think the Abu Garcia Cardinal performs really well for a good price. The Pflueger Trion is a good low-end model, and I love the Penn Pursuit 3000.
Shimano or daiwa ? For saltwater
same question
shimano gearing system is stronger then daiwa...
I can tell you the diawa manages the line much better.
what do you mean by that
I bought Daiwa Crossfire and on the box,Made in Vietnam :D :D, i see,when fall apart :D :D
Idiot.
Shimano has body for the speed casting and Daiwa Cross Fire has the magnum style .
Reely interesting
Wes Miller have a nice Daiwa
Hello .
You paper sheet is full wrong !!!
The Daiwa is a 1+1 bearing ! The Shimano is a 3+1 bearing ....
Hahahahaha ...
Shimano looks better to Europeans. Gold color on a reel is as attractive to me as gold in someone's teeth. All reels should be black. Maybe white, if u want to be exotic, and thats it :)
Joking aside, daiwa has more bearings and precision cut gears. Objectively, it is a better value.
More bearings don't make a better product. I would settle for a reel with one quality bearing over a reel with 20 poor rust prone ones. Bushings work great and usually last way longer. I'm not saying daiwa uses bad bearings but I don't think the extra two make it better.
With ar switch in daiwa it's no match for any lightest water splash , who needs it nowadays grow up daiwa !
There's a mistake: Sienna has 3+1 ball bearing, Crossfire has 1+1!
Reading the spec sheets id not s review

@@matthewswanegan875 yeah I recently bought a sedona 2500 and a sedona 5000 didn’t really see the point spending extra $40 for a extra bearing and minor sealing . The Sedona where I’m from cost $99 and the nasci $139 Australia’s prices are different to US prices lol and also the sienna’s here cost $56
@@brodiemathews5139 I honestly agree but the Sedona drag is smooth plus it was only $70 and my nasci was $100 reason . The got i got a 1000 size Sedona is too pair it with my brand new st croix panfish series rod !
