The wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year and I told her a Shimano Sustain reel would suit me just fine. I have been fishing Penn reels ever since I can remember and started finding I was disatisified in the last few years with them. Normally I wouldn't go this high end. Its just not me, but I couldn't resist when my wife said O.K.
I have a few questions though. Why the huge price difference between the 4000 and the 5000 ($229.00 to $299.00) reels? Why doesn't Simano sell a reel specifically suited to 10 lb. test? The Sustain reels jump from 8 lb. to 12 lb. test. And thats where the price jump comes into play also. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Oh yes, who has the best prices on these reels?
