shimano sustain
yeah id rather go the sustain as till sugested. I use sustains for all my plastic work (bar large and deep water demersals) and they are a pretty nice reel, also use them for flicking lures at tuna and salmon schools. Can pick them up a bit cheaper then the RARENIUM on the net too.

dont know about a sustain is
dont know about a sustain is worth getting as it isnt much more a step up from stradic fi, the rarenium if you wait there was a guy selling it for $220-230 to the door, rarenium is just the jdm version of stradic ci4 except you have larger variety, another note stradic release the 3000-4000 ci4 not too long ago as well, might pay to wait abit.

The sustain and the stradic
The sustain and the stradic are totally different reels. the day i bought my sustain was the day i decided to sell my stradics.
Sustain is also Malaysian made for reference (well mine is) where i believe the older sustain was Japanese made.

.
rarenium has the same amount of BB's as twinpower and is lighter than a stradic . How durable is this ci4 material? 10kg drag is solid for a reel thats 260grams

remind me of myself lol, but
remind me of myself lol, but just recently changed that habit of impulse buying. 10kg is alot of drag but doubt you end up using that much maybe 4-6kg is more reasonable, around the price of 330 the thunnus ci4 comes pretty close buy weighs 100grams more.
