Sustain or Rarenium??

Hey guys just need to know what ya thoughts are on these two reels and which one I should buy. Forget about price just which would be the best reel between the 2. I am not sure on the exact rod just yet but it will be for throwing plastics.

1. Rarenium 2500 FA CI4
2. Sustain 2500 FG

Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers Justo

Same same apart from gear ratio if described... Internals are the same.

Sustain has a half aluminium half XTG7 graphite frame whereas the Rarenium is Ci4+ polyamide plastic.

Rarenium is lighter in the end thats about all.

If heavy weight is not concern,than Sustain-more bearings and metal body.

Also note the different retrieve ratios.

Sustain 6:1 and Rarenium 5:1

Personally, I prefer a faster reel for plastics.

does anyone know if the spools are interchangeable? I've got a 1k stradic spool FS and a guy wants to know if it will fit his sustain

Thanks. He didn't specify so I guess it's likely the fg series. Had a look at the schematics too. The spool support is bush vs bearing but other wise looks the same. (diff part # on the bearing support bush too)
