Engineered to help anglers reach new levels of strength and sensitivity, the Shimano 2021 Sustain FJ Spinning Reels use premier technologies to conquer the toughest inshore or freshwater species. One of the strongest in Shimano's MagnumLite series of spinning reels, the Sustain has been redesigned to feature a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor for light start-up rotation and faster hooksets with increased sensitivity. The benefits of the MGL Rotor include not only a feather-light feel and extreme responsivity, but also an extremely rigid construction that won't strain or flex under heavy drag pressures. The increased strength of an Aluminum HAGANE Body reduces reel flex when winding against hard-fighting game fish. MicroModule II gearing combined with Shimano's cold-forged HAGANE Gear offers anglers the exceptionally smooth reeling performance that has come to be expected from Shimano reels. Now utilizing SilentDrive technology taken from Shimano's flagship level reels, the Sustain FJ offers an extremely fine-tuned, low tolerance feel that makes any fishing experience that much more enjoyable. Other fine additions like the Long Stroke Spool for improved casting distance solidify the FJ as a worthy entry to the Sustain's long and illustrious legacy. Available in a run of idea freshwater and inshore sizing, the Sustain FJ is performance enhancing fishing tool worthy of a spot in any serious angler's arsenal.

  • MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor

Good afternoon shimano sac5000xgfj-sustain-fj-spinning-reel is it good surf fishing big Striped bass 
1 Answer
Hi Luis, The Shimano SAC5000XGFJ Sustain FJ Spinning Reel would be a little light for surf fishing. I would recommend a Shimano SRG5000SWAXG Saragosa SW A Spinning Reel. https://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-srg5000swaxg-saragosa-sw-a-spinning-reel.html This reel has a IPX-8 Water-Resistant Body that would be vital for Saltwater protection for surf fishing applications. Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines.

Of the two models FJ VS FI what are the major differences? I plan to use it for large Steelhead ( B ) run and Salmon. My first chose is the 4000 model and can't decide between the two. Are the mostly the same reel with slight differences? And if so what? Thank you
1 Answer
Charles,

The Sustain FJ is new for 2021 and has 3 new technologies, long stroke spool (probably most important to you), micro module II, and silent drive.  Depending on the size of the water your fishing and the lb line you want to use the 4000 or 5000 size would be the best fit.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
