Overview

“Strong, yet sensitive” are not words that typically describe an aesthetic showstopper, but they do illustrate the Shimano Sustain FJ Spinning Reel. Built to conquer the toughest inshore and freshwater species, the Shimano Sustain FJ Spinning Reel is the toughest in the MGL reel family and crafted with an MagnumLite (MGL) rotor for light start-up rotation and faster hooksets with increased sensitivity.

Housed in a feathery, yet rugged aluminum HAGANE body, the Shimano Sustain FJ Spinning Reel experiences minimal reel flex when taming hard-fighting fish. Lighter than its predecessors, the Shimano Sustain FJ Spinning Reel features Long Stroke Spool to provide anglers with improved casting distance. MicroModule II gearing combined with Shimano’s HAGANE Gear and SilentDrive technology offers anglers the smoothest possible reeling experience. Sure to turn the head of big fish and fellow anglers alike, the Shimano Sustain FJ Spinning Reels are packed with Shimano technologies and premium components that guarantee seamless operation in any conditions.

Sticky Drag BluesI agree with the previous review about the drag. I have 5 Sustains in the 4000 size. The drags are all pretty sticky even after greasing all the drag washers. This was also true with the Vanfords I bought in the 4000 size. That is why I liked the switch on the back of the reels from the old days. Then you didn't even need a drag. You could flip the switch and backreel if needed. I still like the reel because it has more torque for reeling in heavier baits such as Yo-Zuri Rattlin' Vibes. And they last several years and are durable.

WORST DRAG EVER - FAILThis reel has been issues since day 1. Drag is inconsistent under pressure. Jerky. Not smooth. Sent in for repair 3 times. Even sent me a new one. The sustain is a fail. Never again.

Epic ReelLanded a 36” 18lb Halibut from the beach using this killer reel. Highly recommend. Casts smooth and reel is butter. Spend the $.

Previous Feedback  

Comments: Bought the 3k and it hasn't disappointed me yet. dunked it in salt chasing snook through mangroves and it's still running smooth.

From: Ty: Tampa 12/22/22

Comments: I own 2 Vanfords for bass which I love and I wanted to try the Sustain to see if it's a step above and it did not disappoint. Makes casting small baits such as neg rigs, hair jigs and 3 inch swimbaits a breeze. The drag is the best I've ever felt and makes me feel so confident fighting big smallmouth. Definitely worth the extra cash if you already have a Vanford and want something more refined.

From: Miguel: Blooming Grove, NY 12/19/22

Comments: Reels a beast feels more saltwater than freshwater little on the heavy side it's a amazing reel but go for the vanford if you want a lighter spinning reel for freshwater I'd say this is more back bay saltwater with its weight it's pretty beefy in the 2500 size

From: Kyle: Unkown 2/3/22

Comments: This is the real deal, buttery smooth ,plenty of torque, the long stroke spool gives you extra distance. Just a straight up winner!
