The Sienna is a popular all-around reel. It's the ideal choice for anglers just starting out or on a tighter budget, yet still value a reliable reel.
There are many mediocre reels on the market in this price range. The Sienna, however, possesses the quality Shimano is known for: strong and smooth Shimano gearing, an aluminum spool, and a robust XT-7 body. It may not have the technology of the more expensive models, but it's still a Shimano reel. It's a reel any young or beginning angler would want.
With 3 ball bearings, a roller bearing and Shimano gearing, you can’t help but notice how well this model spins and rotates. This is further enhanced by the strong XT-7 body, which offers protection to the internal components should it be accidentally dropped or mishandled. It’s worth noting that the spool is made from aluminum, not plastic, and features the AR-C design that is also found on more expensive Shimano models! All in all, you get a lot for your money when you buy the Sienna.
