Lasty Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I am looking for a reel on a budget and was wondering if the Sienna reels are any good? The other reel I was looking at is a Silstar Hypa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickman Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 hey lasty,mate you only get what you pay for we used cheap reels for a while they all craped out within 15 months now its shimano as they have a 5year warranty how much you spend is up to you from $80.00 to $800.00for a bream reel we go mid range say $120.00 to$250.00 for the reel they all catch fish gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gness Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Sienna is a great reel if you're on a budget. I bought a 2500 a couple of years ago as I was a bit tight on the cash at the time - it's still going strong today and it's also caught it's fair share of fish.

softplasticsjunkie Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i use a sienna 2500 for squiding...apart from a little corrosion on the drag knob...it looks fine on the out side, mind you i wash it after every use.... all up id say go for it... the 4000 size has around 6 kilos of drag pressure, the 1000 and the 2500 have about 3 kilos...

vipernut Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I purchased one about 8 months ago in a combo with a 7ft catana rod as i was also on a budget. So far it has been a good reel/combo,with no signs of rust or any other problems.I also wash it properly after each use(as i do with all my rods/reels). For the money i think they are very good(I paid $99,for the combo on special). Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzo Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Great value for the money and a notch up better than the slade model. My misses has the 2500 sienna for 3 years and no problems touch wood and though i ocassionally use higher end reels myself and and i still manage to sneek the sienna here and there it also boils down to your choice too buddy all the best to what ever reel you end up buying and me personally i prefer to spoil myself to a fine quality rod to a reel any day of the week Cheers Rizzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
