. Well not completely. Basically a Sustain is a Stradic on steroids. And the price tag to prove it. I have both type of reels and the Sustain IMO is way way smoother (and better) than the workhorse Stradic. Actually prefer my Sustain 4000FG to a older model Stella 4000SW I have.
As Matt has said, different classes.
If you have the coin the Sustain is nice, so smooth.
Jigged with a 5000FG for a couple of years and have just recently moved it on due to an upgrade.
It still performed beautifully after getting some serious work outs over those couple of years.
