Shimano Sustain

    

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