Strong yet sensitive aren’t words typically defining an aesthetic show-stopper. But they do illustrate the Sustain FJ series of spinning reels built to conquer the toughest inshore or freshwater species. Sure to turn heads and incite envy from other anglers, the Sustain FJ spinning reel provides anglers the sensitivity and quick hook-setting performance needed to hook and turn a fish in the heaviest of cover.
- Aero Wrap II: this two-speed oscillation system layers the line onto the spool in a crisscross pattern that reduces line-to-line friction for longer casts
- CI4+: an advanced version of the original CI4, this highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used to increase weight savings
- Cross Carbon Drag: this drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever
- G-Free Body technology: benefit anglers with less fatigue and enhanced casting comfort by shifting the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand
- Hagane Body: a metal reel body with high rigidity, the body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing
- Hagane Gear: with amazing strength and durability, the Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel
- Long Stroke Spool: this ultimately produces a smoother line lay during retrieval and translates into increased casting distance for anglers
- MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor: the rotor profile is asymmetrical, and the bail arm mechanism has been moved to the opposite side, this ultimately improves the overall balance
- MicroModule Gear II: the surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano’s pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reducing sound
- One-Piece Bail: the seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm
- Propulsion Line Management system: a specially designed angled spool lip, to provide anglers with longer and more accurate casts by allowing the line to leave the spool in smaller coils with less friction
- Rigid Support Drag: strengthening the spool support of the main shaft, the play and fluctuation of the spool during drag operation are suppressed
- S A-RB: these bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s rotation
- SilentDrive technology: benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm Shaft and other parts. The goal is to remove unnecessary noise and vibration
- Water Resistant Drag: with the use of rubber gaskets the drag is sealed against intrusion of the elements such as water and dust
- X-Protect: provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation
- X-Ship: supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear
