Shimano Sustain FI Spinning Reel

The new Sustain is a all-round front drag spinning reel with some exciting new features. Most important new feature is the X-Protect technology which is used to protect the important inner reel parts. X- Protect features water repellent + a special labyrinth structure in order to keep water out of the reel body. This is 7 times more water resistant than the CoreProtect technology. This makes the reel very suitable for 'rough' conditions like high waves (SW), rain, wading fishing; ways of fishing where it might happen the reel gets in touch with a lot of water. The gearing of the reel is stronger than before, the drag features cross carbon drag washers; all of this makes the reel suitable for heavy conditions. However; it can be used in any condition; it's a true allround spinning reel in the sizes 2500-5000. The Sustain FI is a proud winner of ICAST 2017's "Best Saltwater Fishing Reel".

Sustain is packed with a long list of high-end features which translates to serious performance. From bass to small billfish, Sustain is built with the power and rigidity to handle a wide variety of fishing challenges while maintaining the refinement and light rotation that Sustain is known for. By combining our water-repellent coating and our specially designed, water channeling, labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. By utilizing the asymmetrical, super-light, perfectly balanced design of the new Magnumlite Rotor, the Sustain requires very low inertia to start rotating, resulting in an immediate, light, smooth feel.
