Shimano Sedona 2500 (JDM): All 5 Sizes – Weight, Line Capacity & Specs

Shimano Japan's Sedona spec table lists 5 sizes with 2500 in the code: 2500, 2500HG, 2500S, 2500S PE1010 and 2500SDH. By spool size and drag they form 2 groups: 2500 and 2500HG (46.5 mm dia. / 14.5 mm stroke spool, 9 kg max drag, 240 g); 2500S, 2500S PE1010 and 2500SDH (46.5 mm dia. / 14.5 mm stroke spool, 4 kg max drag, 240–270 g). The suffix mainly changes the gear ratio: 2500 5:1, 2500HG 6.2:1, 2500S 5:1, 2500S PE1010 5:1, 2500SDH 5:1.
