Shimano Sustain 6.1ft 185cm UL Fixed 2-8g (Reel), 1+1 part

Versatility. Performance. Style.

If versatile performance combined with exceptional design are your top requirements, then the Sustain rod range delivers. With a wide range of models with both extra-fast and moderate-fast actions, Sustain sets a standard that few others can match.

The first thing you notice is the elegant, high-quality design: a matte black blade with silver and gold accents, finished with anodized metal details that match the accompanying Sustain wheel. Understated, sophisticated, and built for performance.

But Sustain is much more than just a stylish rod – it’s incredibly versatile and can handle a wide range of fishing styles, both in freshwater and coastal saltwater. Whether you’re targeting big pike or lighter rockfish, there’s a model to suit you.

Sustain is built on a high-modulus full carbon blade, reinforced with Spiral X technology , which reduces blade twist and increases strength without adding weight. This results in:

• Exceptional throwing precision

• Increased power transmission

• Superior control over the bait

• Improved control when trolling fish

Features include:

• Fuji K-type Alconite guides

• Lightweight and ergonomic Shimano Ci4+ reel seats

• Choice between extra-fast and moderate-fast action on reel models

• Two exclusive and powerful multi-reels (baitcasting)

Model variants:

• Extra-fast action is perfect for long-cast fishing with hard baits, jigs and soft baits – perfect for species such as sea bass, pike, zander and perch.

• Moderate-fast action is best suited for crankbaits and provides a semi-parabolic curve that provides better hooking and control during hard fights.

Pro Insight – Danny Parkins:
“With a complete design refresh for 2022, these Sustain rods are better looking than ever. My favorite is the 78M reel model (7-28g) which I use to fish for rock gyre and sea bass with everything from Texas rigs to surface lures. The blade is fast, sensitive and has plenty of backbone. The longer back handle is also perfect when you’re trolling strong fish.”
