The Sustain is a premium lure rod series designed for dedicated predator anglers who demand versatility, precision, and performance. With a comprehensive line-up to cover a wide variety of freshwater and inshore saltwater lure fishing applications (including Distance and Power Game applications), Sustain combines advanced Shimano carbon technologies with refined fittings that delivers lightweight, responsive, and powerful performance.
For the discerning predator angler who prefers to use a spinning reel for their lure fishing, Sustain is a truly versatile rod range, purpose-built to master a wide and diverse range of lure fishing styles. The shorter, fast-action models deliver exceptional precision and responsiveness with twitchbaits and soft plastics, translating subtle movements into flawless lure presentation. The ‘Distance’ models extend casting distance and accuracy with twitchbaits, plugs, and spoons, allowing effortless coverage of distant feeding zones. Completing the line-up, the aptly named ‘Power Game’ rods offer commanding strength and control for targeting powerful predators with larger lures and metal jigs. Every model features a convenient 2-piece construction for ease of transport. Whether fishing tight to structure or casting to the horizon, Sustain embodies the perfect harmony of power, sensitivity, and refinement at a price to performance ratio that is rarely seen.
Sustain derives its exceptional performance from Shimano’s High Modulus Full Carbon blanks reinforced with Spiral X Carbon technology. This advanced construction minimises blank twist and enhances casting accuracy and power transmission, ensuring the rod performs under demanding conditions. In keeping with the high-quality blank, this visually striking range is fitted with Fuji K-Type Alconite guides for smooth line control and durability, even when fishing with ultra-fine braided lines. A lightweight and responsive Shimano Custom Ci4+ reel seat provides superb spinning reel integration and comfort, while the ergonomic split-grip EVA handle ensures a secure, balanced grip in all conditions.
This thoughtful combination of cutting-edge materials and ergonomic design makes the Sustain a wise choice for predator anglers who value precision, strength, and casting efficiency across a variety of freshwater and saltwater lure fishing applications.
