Gear up and fish on!
The Shimano Sedona C5000FI XG Vortex Inshore Spin Slow Jig Combo matches strength with versatility. It features the Sedona C5000FI XG Spinning Reel paired with the Vortex Inshore Jig Spin Rod. Two high-quality gear built with Shimano’s top-tier expertise and dedication to superior performance.
The Reel
The new Shimano Sedona C5000FI XG Spinning Reel just got better! It’s now made with the strong and durable Hagane cold forged gear. It also features 3+1 bearings and 4kg drag output. The oscillation system is also upgraded to Varispeed for a consistent spool speed for excellent castability and even line lay. AR-C Spool for longer casts and Dyna Balance for enhanced sensitivity and smoothness.
AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.
Dyna Balance
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.
Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.
HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.
The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Inshore Jig Spin Rod is a dynamic and versatile rod designed to fit directly into the Kiwi lifestyle. This rod features a Power-Carbon blank to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also enhance overall performance without compromise. These features allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series.
