This is a bargain reel of a deal without skipping on quality. For the first 15 years of my fishing experience I exclusively used a cheap Shakespeare and a $30 browning reel. I absolutely loved them and wore them out with no maintenance at all. Now I own a few Shimano higher end reels and the Siena is an exceptional every day reel that is a gem of a value. This is the best reel in this price range.I trust Shimano quality and will stay loyal to this brand. I have over 10 various reels and realized my better quality ones are Shimano. This reel will perform flawlessly for many years. I was going to buy a Chinese company reel that is double the price, after doing research I canceled the other order and went with the Sienna isntead.

Item delivered on time (next 2 day prime) safe in good packaging. First impressions of this reel do not disappoint. I didn't do my research on reel codes and sizes and this did come a bit on the small side but honestly this was exactly what I was looking for in a little bass fishing reel. Light but looks very well made and tough. I will update this review once I have used the reel. Thank you. 12.08.20. this item has proved excellent for the size and build. Very tough in action and extremely smooth operation. Effortless and weightless for lure fishing which I caught a baby bass on my first day trying with this new reel. Can't fault it and will be buying a second for a second lure kit.

I purchased this reel, the SHIMANO SIENNA FE 2500 SPINNING REEL from Amazon in Dec. 2017, and placed it on a 6' Shimano rod. The reel has a good feel and it was chosen to match the rod quality and not go outside of the budget of the holiday season. I think this will be a good reel and it casts 10lb mono well with light bait. The number of ball bearings is starting to become an issue and this reel is a little light in this area with 1+1 Bearings, where some other reels offered do have considerably more BBs for the same price range. I will use this reel a while longer and return to finalize my review, but for now it rates 4 stars for me.

I love the latest model Sienna reel, for being low on the ball bearing count it is smooth and quiet. The best feature about this reel and one that makes it a complete standout at the price point is the 19lb drag. It is very difficult to find reels at this price point with such high drag numbers. This is particularly of importance when I am fishing for sturgeon and like to be able to cast more so than my line counter reels can do. Having 19lb's of drag really allows me to tire the fish much faster allowing for a quicker and cleaner release of the fish.

This reel performs like a much more expensive model. Drag and wind is butter smooth and reel is super durable. I have 2 older Sienna's on my loaner rods and they have been dropped in saltwater, drug through sand, banged around piers and are still working with minimal (rinse off) maintenance.Every cheap Shakespear, Daiwa and Lew reel I owned failed within the first year of use/abuse. Not my shimanos...these are the only reels I buy now. Well OK I own a couple Penns too that are damn sturdy but not at this price.

I have put this reel through so much torture and it's still working. Only issue I've had is the bail not closing, but that has actually turned into a positive because I naturally close the bail now and in the process, I pull the line tight on the reel, so no kinks in the line. Going to order the new model for a backup and just pray it can do what the model I have has done!!

For the money this reel is the best value out there. I love how smooth all Shimano reels are, and this one despite being cheaper is no exception. I have the 4000 series for salmon fishing and the 2500 for trout fishing. I recommend this reel as great one for people just starting to get into fishing and looking for solid gear at a reasonable price.

Been bank fishing with spinning reels since I was a little boy and have used Shimano reels throughout those years. After giving the 2500 Sienna a try, I was blown away how smooth it was for the price. If I was unaware of the price I would of guess it was in the ranged of $100+ like my other Shimano reels. Would definitely buy again.

Best spinning for the money. You really can't beat this deal for the price. The reel is well designed, well constructed and very stylish. it casts a mile and is very smooth. I purchased 2 of them. I would get a couple of them before the price goes up. I highly recommend this reel.

I wanted to get an economic reel for trout fishing. I recently used for trout fishing in PA. Yes there are cheaper reels; yes, there are more expensive ones too. This reel offers the perfect balance between quality and cost. So far so good. Can't wait to catch more fish on it.

It's a really nice small reel for small sport fishing. Fits on a small lightweight rod and holds enough line for some fun. For the price you pay, it's worth it. Shimano's higher end lines are good, but these are OK for the beginners and mid level fishermen.

Great reel for only $30. I know this sienna only has 2 bearings as compared to the old siennas 4 bearings, but this thing is smooth as butter. Constructed very nice and can withstand the saltwater. Used in surf and cleaned it and it was good as new

This is a great reel for the $$. lightweight and feels very smooth, i was able to spool an entire 150yd box of 8lb power pro on it. The drag is a little weak but not a problem. This is my go-to reel for lake fishing now.

Shimano redesigned an already excellent reel and somehow found a way to make it even better. The new Sienna reel looks great and handles beautifully. Hands down the best reel on the market for under $30!

Great reel for the price. I have submerged this reel on two occasions and have yet to clean them and are still buttery smooth. Would recommend for a ice fishing setup, or if your going after panfish.
