I haven't used this unit yet but I have another Sienna that is a superb reel for the money. I think it's one of the best values out there for a nice functional, well built, smooth operating spinning reel. This reel is everything you would expect from a top company like Shimano. Actually I am surprised at the quality you get for such a reasonable price. I've paid more in the past for lesser reels from other manufacturers. You can't go wrong with Shimano no matter what level of reel you purchase. I am amazed at the high end features they pack into a very reasonably priced spinning reel like this Sienna.

The 500 size is probably the best bang for your buck as far as a spining reel goes. I have plenty of reels around this same price and these reels are much smoother thsn the competition right out of he box. I have replaced all my spining ice reels with this model. Not once has this reel failed me and I fish quite a bit! If you replace the drag washers with the carbon ones you have a reel that is on par with reel several more times the price. Give them a try!

Was oroginally looking at the Penn 4200ss reel for my daughters. Went with this reel instead. Super smooth Shimano feel to them compared to the Penn. A little lighter too. Probably not as durable in saltwater but I've fished a bigger size, same model, for a couple years in some heavy shoreline use. I've caught the most fish with it and I have some other nice Shimano reels. For the price it's hard to beat.

Very nice small reel. Drag is smooth and gears are quiet. I like it with 2 # line for fishing Bream and Crappie but have also caught a 6.5 # Bass and a 9 # Bowfin.
