Shimano has put everything they have into this reel to make it the smoothest and easiest fishing spinning reel you've ever tried. The only thing in the world better than Sustain would be the elite Stella reels. Sustain incorporates Shimano's cutting edge technologies like S- Concept, which represents Shimano’s philosophy on spinning reels; Smooth, Silent, and Strong. Add the exclusive S-Arm Cam which keeps slack line in contact with the bail roller bearing to help eliminate nasty loops and tangles that plague other spinning reels. Details like the S-Guard finish that protects the reel from impact damage, S-Rotor that is compact and lightweight to ensure the most comfortable retrieve possible, Slow Oscillation that lays the line on the spool in a parallel pattern for maximum casting distance and line control, and an external maintenance port so you can easily lube the drive train without disassembling the reel. Take a look at the other goodies Sustain offers, like the Titanium Lip on the cold-forged spool and spare spool for longer, smoother casts and less likelihood of line cutting and distance robbing damage, waterproof drag that will ensure your drag is in perfect shape and ready for the fight when it really counts, anti-rust bearings, solid machined aluminum crank handle for more strength and power, Septon™ grip that will not get slippery when you’re wet and cold, Power Roller III™ oversized line roller for less line twist than ever before, Floating Shaft™, Direct Drive, Dyna-Balance™, and on and on. In short, Sustain is in a class all it’s own and will be your pride and joy.

• Aluminum Frame
• Aluminum Spool
• Graphite Sideplate
• Graphite Rotor
• Titanium Spool Lip reduces friction during the cast and increases durability for both the reel and the line.
• Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium Spool Lip provides increased strength and durability.
• Spare Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium Spool Lip Included with reel.
• S-Concept represents Shimano's initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.
• Slow Oscillation Lays the line in a parallel pattern for excellent castability and control.
• Maintenance Port A sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel.
• S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts.
• S-Guard Protects the body of the reel from impact damage.
• S-Rotor is compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve.
• Waterproof Drag is sealed against the intrusion of the elements, such as water or dust.
• A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
• Fluidrive II uses the successes of Fluidrive, but also uses a polishing process to increase tooth contact for increased efficiency.
• Super Stopper II is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling.
• Machined Aluminum Handle Shank for increased strength and power.
• Septon Handle Grip This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.
• Dyna-Balance similar to balancing a tire, we use counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve.
• Power Roller III is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving, using a cone-shaped support to help get the line onto the roller quicker.
• Floating Shaft By using a bearing or bushing, friction is reduced between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased smoothness and durability.
• Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
