SHIMANO’S latest FG series Sustain spin reels incorporate features usually found on top-of-the-line models.
There are four reels in the revamped lineup, from the diminutive 1000FG for freshwater trout, redfin and bass, saltwater bream, whiting and flathead fishing, all the way up to a robust 5000FG for heavy estuary and offshore work.
All make use of Shimano’s SR Concept to make the reels smooth, silent, and strong. This is delivered by no fewer than eight A-RB bearings and one roller bearing, X-Ship double-bearing supported pinion gear, a cold-forged aluminium drive gear with Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement, Dyna Balance for less rotor wobble, and Super Stopper II to remove any backplay in the handle.
The AR-C Spool Management System, Propulsion Line Management and Aerowrap II means line enters and leaves the reel with greater efficiency, whether while casting, retrieving, or under pressure from a big fish.
The four smaller reels have CI4 rotors for additional weight savings, and all have Magnumlite spools for easy all-day use.
