Shimano Sustain 3000 new vs. old, which one do you prefer?
Are there any notice performance differences? I wish the peg leg for the new could fit the old but it doesn't.
What is the Verdict?
Re: What is the Verdict?
new Sustain is sweet. It has an increased resistance to rotor rotation when the bail is open, so if you're a handle turner(which I hope you aren't) you may not like the new model. Also they changed the drag curve -- they call it Rapid Fire Drag...I imagine the thread on the spool post is just cut at a steeper angle. More drag change with fewer 'clicks'. The post is a cool feature if you fish SW and use vertical rod holders, or lay your reel/rods down on the ground a lot. Oh and....X-Ship
