Shimano Sustain 1000 fg.

Hey guys, i'm thinking of purchasing a 1000 size Shimano Sustain fg but i was wondering if they are good or if there are any other better ones.
Thanks.

I just brought one from another member on the fourm, I have only used it once but they are an awesome reel for the money, get one mate you wont regret it and they have a quality finish to them as well,

Cheers Justo

Thanks mate, i think i might get one.

definitely worth it. I'm a big fan of the rapid fire drag (biomaster drag is starting to pi** me off) and spool support bearing.

but if your a bit careless with your gear and not too keen on doing a good clean after every use then save the $100 and go the Stradic FJ.

Sustains are going for $250 around the traps ATM.

Mate they are sweet, I've chopped and changed through every Shimano reel available and they are excellent for the money, a class above the stradic and biomaster with more alloy components in place of plastic, I believe pretty much identical to the stradic bar bearing count and biomaster fb mechanically.
I still wish they had a spare spool like the biomaster.
Lately I run with a sustain 1000, a sustain 2500 and stella 2500 as my 3 combos I take out.
Can't talk highly enough of them

I had bought one for my bro in law along with a loomis rod as a gift a few years ago.great reel and if you look after it it'll look after you.has not let him down.

Just good luck finding that .09mm Allen Key required for the spool support bearing collet...

And without stirring people up to the point where they want to drag their anuses on fine persian rugs - I am still not a fan of my Sustain...

There said it again
