Sienna FG, looking good.

[bowl]

3kg-8.5kg of drag.

Still the best value for money I'd say

the last one was apparently pretty **** and plasticy, I wonder if they've taken a step back from that

[hornet]

I have the earlier FD and the later FE models, the later FE feels very cheap as opposed the the earlier FD, I think the FD will outlast the FE over time in the salt.

I notice with this new FG they have gone back to 3+1 bearings as the earlier FD series .. The FE is 1+1 bearings.

[hornet]

These may be ok ? ... 2+1 bearings.... The FX looks the same as the FG but with less bearings ? budget model ? ( the catana FD may be worth looking at...)

They also now have a 2k size .
I like the look of the new model but I reckon price is slowly going up.. still good value if the reel is as good as its predecessor..

Might get one with my $100 BCF voucher. Is the Catana FD model a step up or down from the Sienna?

The original FD sienna had 3+1 bearings

Then they cheaped out on the FE and put 1+1 bearings in it.

The new FG has gone back to 3+1 bearings maybe because of the complaints about smoothness ?

The catana FD has 2+1 bearings so it's a half way type approach.

I would feel them both in the hand and make a decision after fondling them.

I love the new look! Looks great

I'm not a fan of hollow handles it seems to me a sign of cheapness.. just my opinion.
