right about there is where I'd assume most folks assumed you meant garbage...

 

I didn't say they were garbage. I said they were both low cost and of the same build quality.

[bare foot wader]

but you didn't say low cost, you said "pretty cheap reels"....kinda easy to misinterpret.....but agreed, inexpensive reel and decent quality

Just in case you didn't hear about it: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41150

 

 

I have a few sedonas and a regal... Both great reels for the money. I think they are neck and neck in quality so i think this is where personal preference takes over. Test them out and go with what feels best to you. What do you plan on using it for?

 

 

Ya I have the flyer. I was wondering if they were going to honour shimano on the trade. That's what makes the two reels come in at the same price.

 

I would be using the reels for bass, walleye fishing. Maybe the odd pike.

What size you getting, 2500? IMO That's a good size for bass and pike, walleyes. Don't know if they make a 3000 sedona that would be a good size too if available, same weight and extra spool capacity, same drag weight too (using stradics as reference since I don't see a sedona 3000 here http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/gl.../Sedona_FB.html.

The sedonas I have are all 2000/4000. A 4000 is a bit heavy for all day bassing imo. I just use it with 50 lb braid when hunting bigger pike with spinner baits.

 

Yes we had a huge ass thread about shimano VS reel trade in program. Results: Shimano USA not participating. Shimano Canada BPS Vaughn IS participating. So you're good to go.

Like mentioned above for steelhead fishing the sedonas drag is a lot better, but for bass walleye and pike, both reels would do fine!

For reference to price: Was just looking at the BPS flyer, Sedona $54.94 after $15 rebate.

Daiwa regal Xia $50.

Daiwa Exceler $ $70.

 

Also seeing purple Rapala tail dancers for you walleye guys that were hoarding them.
