Sedona 3000 Reel?

[Bugalugs]

Hi folks,
I was after a new reel for bream, whiting, trout etc, and I've seen a Shimano Sedona 3000 for $87.00.
Unfortunately they don't have any 2500 left and apparently the only difference between them is a larger spool size on the 3000.
I am going to use it on a 3-6kg, 6 foot, one piece whiting rod which I bought recently (for use in a 12ft tinny)
I don't do heaps of fishing, but just wanted to have a nice reel for when I do go out. I kind of want an all-rounder as I do lures, SP and bait fishing.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers
Neil

Sedona are a great reel for there price you’ll definately get ur moneys worth! My sienna is easy 5yo n still works a treat

I had a mate that was using it for 4000 for snapper fishing and it was a beauty

I have two 2500 Sedonas, they really are very nice reels. Very smooth and so far very reliable and quite tough

I've actually found a 2500 for $79 and they are in stock (so the website says) So I might get one over the weekend.
I just need to work out what sort of braid to put on it - Any suggestions?
I once did something stupid and bought some from Aldi on special ... wrong wrong wrong - wind knots and tangles - waste of money.

Most of my reels have Daiwa J braid x8 or sunline super pe. Both great braids. No complaints

Yep my cousin has a few 4000 Sedonas great reel.

Even my 2500 siennas are nice little Whiting and Squid reels for their price.

Have to agree with Dazz....if you don't go fishing often and you're looking for an all-purpose set up, a stradic will handle a larger variety of fish and will last for ages
