Sienna Front Drag

I bought this to pair with a 6'6" Fenwick L rod. It was between this and another Pflueger President 20 (which I have on a UL Fenwick rod). The price point attracted me to this reel along with the positive reviews. So I purchased and have used it already on three fishing trips since it arrived. It's perfect for panfishing. The drag is smooth and responsive. Things can get a little intense when you hook into a bass with 4# test and the smaller spool. You have to take things easy, but it does the job just fine. I think I should buy more of these inexpensive, great little reels just for back ups! Would recommend.

The Shimano Sienna is a fantastic lightweight fishing reel. I have the ultralite version and it performs admirably with both 2lb and 4lb monofilament fishing line. I frequently use it for freshwater and saltwater fishing, for light rock fishing, panfish, small bass, and trout. It has stood up to a variety of conditions and allowed me to land much larger fish than I would have expected, thanks to a superb drag. It's my go-to reel for ultralite fishing. Sometimes the fast retrieve speed is a little too fast for the waters I fish, but that's the only minor negative factor for this otherwise wonderful reel. Get it!

Not as smooth or durable as my (many) Stradics but a fantastic value for the money. If I was a guide I'd use these on my boat since they do the trick, hold up well and can be replaced for a song.

My bad,I ordered the wrong reel. The reel arrived and it's ridiculously small. I fish in the surf for Snook and Tarpon. I can't believe how small this reel is,looks like it should be inside of a bottle. Great reel for the Grandchild catching his first guppy

This reel is the best bang for your buck. I use it for trout fishing and it has handled some large rainbows. The bail is firm and clicky. The reel is very smooth for 3 bearing. I have had some issue with line twist but I drop shot a lot and it twists any line on all my reels. Very light and I combo it with a 5'6" okuma ultralight rod. The casting distance is good with light lures.

Did not meet expectations

After year seem start have problem , I just add more oil on yesterday

Shimano makes great sturdy and long lasting reels for this price range. It's too bad this model got discontinued, so I bought a few of these while they were around in stores as backup for my current setup. Got this one as my pan fish reel and have been slayin under size crappies/gills/redears at a private pond for weeks now.
