Product Comparison: Shimano Sienna FE (SN4000FE) vs Shimano Sienna FD (4000 FD)
General Specifications
About the Product
The new center of gravity (M-Compact Body) means the oscillation gear is now closer to the rod, increasing balanced feel. Incororating the Propulsion Line Management system for longer casts and reduced backlash, the Sienna FE uses Super Stopper II for instant anti-reverse with no backplay. Available in sizes from 1000 to the 4000, the Sienna FE is perfectly suited for everything from freshwater to inshore fishing.
The Sienna FD range of spinning reels are equipped with four ball bearings for smooth and effortless operation, and a gear system built for reliability and performance. The aluminium Propulsion-Equipped spool is precision made and has a multi-washer drag designed to handle fast running fish.

What customers say about "Features"
Shimano Sienna FE (SN4000FE) Freshwater Spinning Fishing Reel
- It's super smooth, the drag is reliable and predictable, the anti-reverse works great and it's just fast enough to fish fast water.
- Seems very sturdy and smooth. Just spooled on 20lb braid and everything seems to be working fine.
- I wonder if it is due to the shape and size of the spool or to how the line winds on the reel, but the Shimano has just been superior to everything else that I have used.
- The new Sienna reel looks great and handles beautifully. Hands down the best reel on the market for under $30!
- From big tarpon to snapper and grouper it can handle a beating!
Shimano Sienna FD (4000 FD) Spinning Clam Reel
- For the money the reel works just fine. The gears could be a bit smoother when reeling in but I still catch fish with them.
- Good Reel, havnt had too much action but so far its working good and looks good.
- I used it on a beach fishing trip and it never gave me a minute's trouble.
- Great value reel - don't shy away from it if you need an inexpensive saltwater workhorse.
- Very cheap materials.
