General Specifications

About the Product

Sienna is a well-balanced, high performance built reel at an amazingly affordable price. Incorporating the Propulsion Line Management System for longer casts and reduced wind knots, the Sienna uses Super Stopper II for instant anti-reverse with no back play.

The Catana is strong, solid, smooth and reliable for years, while the price is very competitive. When compared to the previous series (FC), the reel has a new, modern and striking black stealth design. It rotates very smooth and all parts are made to last.
