If your happy with the line
If your happy with the line capacity yor getting then it will be ok with that braid. Wouldn't go any heavier though.

Absolutely
However, upgrade the drag washers to carbontex...
I was running pe 1.5 (which was 25lb) on my sustain 4000 and I have accounted for some good fish on it!
I have never had any problems my sustain.

Im with Jimsjam
A Sustain 5000 will handle 30lb. Also agree no heavier. Little reels are bloody tuff IMO.
