Drag Failure
September 25, 2018
Use caution purchasing this real. I'm a huge Shimano reel fan, but the drag on this reel is unreliable. Have used it for two years and lost several fish due to the drag locking up. Once, it locked up so tight that pliers were required to loosen the drag knob which now bears permanent scars. There is considerable forum information about this known issue. Having said all that, with extra care to free up the drag and set it prior to each use the reel is smooth problem free otherwise. Still not a good investment.

My husband has been looking at this reel for along time asking friends, people he has seen fishing with this reel every question that you would imagine if it was any good.
I finally decided to buy him one he loves it. It's smooth reeling,drag strong,holds braided line of 30 pounds just right for the type of fishing he uses for I would recommend this real.

My third Sustain in the FG line. So far I have used this reel for bass ponds, whiting in the near surf, specks and redfish. It has not been a disappointment. Very smooth action and reliable drag. Handles over-slot reds easily.

WORTH THE FEW EXTRA BUCKS
June 10, 2014
I PURCHASED THE 10000 MODEL FOR GROUPER FISHING AND POPPING FOR KINGS IN CENTRAL FL. I HAVE IT MATCHED WITH A TEREZ , IT IS A POWERHOUSE COMBO THAT IM PROUD TO OWN, BUT EVEN BETTER THEY WORK. LIGHT WEIGHT VERY VERY SMOOTH REELS, THEY HANDLE KINGFISH ,GROUPER , SHARKS, RAYS, AND EVEN GOLIATH GROUPER ! THE DRAG IS PRETTY DARN SMOOTH TOO. I HAVE MINE LOADED WITH 80# DIAWA SALTIGA BRAID. THIS SET UP IS PERFECT FOR MY TYPE OF FISHING. ONCE YOU USE THIS REEL A STELLA DOESNT SEEM AS IMPORTANT ANYMORE IMO.
Pros
- LIGHT , SMALL , SMOOTH DRAG, EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE TO WORK WITH
Cons
- NONE

I just bought the Teramar SE 8' 17-40 Lbs spinning rod. Would you recommend the sustain 6000 or Saragossa 6000? I'll be thowing big swim baits, savage sandeels and ronz's. I was thinking 6000 size should balance well but what about 8000?
1 Answer
I would recommend using the Shimano Saragossa 6000 if you plan on using big swimbaits along with Ronz lures and sand eels.
