  • 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.
  • Direct Drive Mechanismthe drive gear is directly connected to the handle shaft for an increased transmission of power (4000, 5000, 6000 and 8000 sizes).

    Comments about Shimano Sustain Spinning Reel:

    Would only fish with inexpensive reels when I started 4 years ago. I was mentored by an individual who is nothing short of a pro. He convinced me to spend the money and have a reel that has minimal problems which enables you to fish more. I have caught and released thousands of fish within the last year using the 1000 and 2500 models. I fish once to twice a week. When my friends have tried the sustain it's difficult for them to give it back. Shimano stands behind their product with excellent customer service.
