The Sedona FI has 3 bearings plus the anti-reverse clutch, which is effectively a bearing. While small in number, the bearings in the Sedona are good quality bearings. The clutch bearing is especially good, and a feature of the reel. The anti-reverse function is excellent, delivering no back play at all. As mentioned earlier, the clutch bearing in the Sedona is the same bearing that’s in the Stella and other high-end Shimano spin reels.
