Shimano Sedona C5000FI XG Backbone Spin Rock Combo 8ft 6-8kg 2pc

Level up your rock fishing game

The Shimano Sedona C5000FI XG Backbone Spin Rock Combo is expertly designed for optimum performance while casting from the rocks. It combines the enhanced castability and gear durability of the Sedona C5000FI XG Spinning Reel with the great-quality construction and reliable strength of the Backbone Rock Spinning Rod. This pairing results in a solid rock fishing set that won’t cost you the world.

The Reel
The new Shimano Sedona C5000FI XG Spinning Reel just got better! It’s now made with the strong and durable Hagane cold forged gear. It also features 3+1 bearings and 4kg drag output. The oscillation system is also upgraded to Varispeed for a consistent spool speed for excellent castability and even line lay. AR-C Spool for longer casts and Dyna Balance for enhanced sensitivity and smoothness.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

Dyna Balance
This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, Shimano is able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by the reel.

Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.

HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Rock Spinning Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
