Shimano Sustain C3000 FK

Shimano
Sustain FK

Part of the renowned Magnumlite series and redefines lightweight performance!

With unparalleled sensitivity and the necessary Power for the most demanding situations, this ultra-light reel convinces across the board – and in an elegant, slim design that impresses as much as its performance.
The Sustain FK is one of the reels that immediately catch the eye. and not just because of its matte black housing with noble chrome accents, but mainly through its performance. As soon as you hold it for the first time, it delights with its exceptionally low weight, which significantly reduces fatigue during long sessions. The rotation is so smooth that even minimal pressure on the crank is enough to set the rotor in motion.
The smaller models of the Sustain FK are ideal for medium-weight setups and offer a perfect balance between sensitivity and control. The larger 4000 and 5000 models, on the other hand, deliver concentrated Power for big fish in freshwater or for coastal use in saltwater. Whether precise casting or powerful drills – the Sustain FK is the ultimate lightweight for every challenge.

The Sustain FK combines state-of-the-art technology with powerful performance. At the heart of its lightweight rotation is the revolutionary Magnumlite (MGL) rotor. At the heart of the ultra-light rotation works the revolutionary Magnumlite (MGL) rotor, made of Shimano´s advanced Ci4+ composite material. This perfectly balanced rotor ensures minimal startup resistance when cranking, precise lifts, and excellent feedback, letting you feel every movement underwater.
Beneath the robust, yet lightweight aluminum housing hides the finest engineering. The interplay of HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityXross, and InfinityDrive guarantees maximum smoothness and efficiency when cranking – for a consistently smooth fishing experience. SilentDrive ensures an almost silent run, and when the drill begins, the Duracross braking system offers the necessary control, Power, and reliability – even with big fish. Thanks to the X-Protect technology, the Sustain FK is optimally protected against water and dirt – and feels right at home even in saltwater.
And what about extremely long casts that sometimes make the crucial difference on some days? Thanks to the ultra-slow spool stroke of the InfinityLoop technology in combination with Shimano´s AR-C spool design, maximum casting distances with impressive precision are no problem. Additionally, the integrated Anti-Twist Fin ensures that the line is spooled cleanly and without line loops.
