Shimano Sedona FJ C5000XG Backbone Salmon Spin Combo 8ft 6-8kg 2pc

Built to hunt Salmon

The Shimano Sedona FJ C5000XG Backbone Salmon Spin Combo is a versatile rod and reel outfit that's excellent for all-day Salmon fishing. It has the Sedona FJ C5000XG Spinning Reel, famous for its unrelenting power and compact structure. To top it off, the reel is joined by the Backbone Rock Spinning Rod which is utterly solid and reliable. An incredible new combo designed for chasing your target fish.

The Reel
Shimano's state-of-the art HAGANE Gear technology lies at the heart of the redesigned Shimano 23 Sedona FJ C5000XG Spinning Reel. Incorporating HAGANE cold-forging technology into the Sedona FJ gives it a step up from other reels in its class and provides long-lasting smoothness and durability for assured resilience even after countless battles with your target species.

The Sedona FJ series now features Shimano's SilentDrive technology to remove unnecessary noise and vibration while creating a quieter and smoother reeling experience. The enhanced spool design features Propulsion Line Management System for increased casting performance, while G-Free Body technology shifts the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod for better balance and less fatigue during long days on the water.

Equipped with a round handle knob, long handle, and carbon cross drag washer, this is a tough and compact 5000 size. If you want to emphasise operability and weight, the Shimano 23 Sedona FJ C5000XG Spinning Reel is for you.

HAGANE Body
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.

HAGANE Gear
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano's cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

Silent Drive
From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to your hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

Propulsion Line Management System
New Propulsion spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip 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.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Rock Spinning Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
