Product Comparison: Shimano SN2500FG vs Shimano CAT2500RC


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 RC is a rear-drag spinning reel. This reel will perfectly fit the needs of anglers who are looking for a low-budget, but smooth running reel. The reel is designed for freshwater fishing, mainly aiming at Bolognese, tele trout and all kinds of spin fishing for perch, pike or zander.
