Shimano sustain 10000
Submitted by Righteo on Tue, 2012-05-08 12:39
Hey guys i wasnt aware the sustain came in a 6000 and 10000 size, anyone own one or even the smaller models? Was looking at either a stella 8000 or catalina in the same size range but now i might just cheap out and go with the sustain.

The 6000 and 10000
have the same body, the 10000 is a bigger spool, I too am looking to get a 10000, pretty close to the twinpower's specs

No doubt a strong reel, but
No doubt a strong reel, but not as "refined" which makes it much noisier and not as smooth.

The whole 10/6/8k thing
The whole 10/6/8k thing sharing the same body kind of sucks.
Not sure I'd want to get a 10k with the gears of a 6k, but its comnmon for the 6k and 8k to share a body in some series.
