Which spools fit the Sedona 2500SDH?
We have no official spool listing recorded for the 2500SDH, so we name no spool for it.
| Part | Listed value | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Yumeya handle knob type | A | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルノブタイプ). |
We only list parts the manufacturer (or its own custom-parts brand) names. A part with similar dimensions is not treated as compatible, and a matching type is not a statement that stock spools swap between models.
Is there a US version of the Sedona 2500SDH?
No. Shimano North America's SEDONA FJ table lists SE4000XGFJC, SE2500HGFJC, SEC3000HGFJC, SEC5000XGFJ, SEC5000XGFJC, SE4000XGFJ, SEC3000HGFJ, SE1000FJC, SE500FJ, SE1000FJ and SE2500HGFJ, and none has the size code 2500SDH (checked 2026-10-13). The nearest listed US size is SE2500HGFJC; the official values differ in gear ratio (5:1 in Japan, 6.2:1 in the US) and weight (270 g (≈ 9.5 oz) in Japan, 8.5 oz in the US).

|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 5:1 | 6.2:1 | Differs |
| Weight | 270 g (≈ 9.5 oz) | 8.5 oz | Differs |
| Max drag | 4 kg (≈ 8.8 lb) | Not confirmed | Cannot compare (value not published) |
| Retrieve per crank | 73 cm (≈ 28.7 in) | Not confirmed | Cannot compare (value not published) |
US values are Shimano North America official figures; ≈ values are our unit conversions of the Japanese figures. Gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match.
