The equisite Sustain FK is a member of the Magnumlite Series and takes lightweight performance to a whole new level. Blending unrivaled sensitivity with a featherlight feel and the strength to tackle even the most demanding situations, its sleek, elegant design is nothing short of stunning. When it comes to reels that demand attention, the Sustain FK ranks among the best. Its satin black body with chrome accents is visually striking, but the true magic lies in its performance. The moment you hold it, you’ll be amazed at its remarkable lightness, offering an effortless experience with every cast. The rotation is so smooth it almost seems effortless, requiring only the slightest pressure to set the rotor into motion. The smaller sizes of the Sustain FK are tailor-made for mid-weight setups, providing the perfect balance of sensitivity and control. Meanwhile, the larger 4000 and 5000 sizes deliver the raw power needed to take on the toughest freshwater and inshore saltwater species. Whether you’re casting for precision or powering through tough conditions, the Sustain FK is the ultimate lightweight reel for dominating any situation.

The Vanquish is the pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. It is crafted with the greatest Japanese precision and is designed for those that demand the ultimate out themselves and their equipment. The responsiveness and smoothness of the reel make it perfect for fishing ultra-light techniques for perch, trout and zander. However, the Vanquish can be used for many different techniques and species, including inshore saltwater spinning in the larger 4000 and 5000 sizes. The Vanquish will guide you to get the best out of yourself on every adventure. The first thing you’ll experience is the reel’s weight, or rather the lack of it. The mid-sized 3000 only weighs 170g – that’s remarkable and you will notice it. The Vanquish sets new quality standards in the UL fishing domain. Shimano went ‘Beyond Lightness’ to create an ultimate light-winding mechanism with unrivalled characteristics. It is the pinnacle of ultra-light reels and packed to the brim with Shimano technologies, derived mainly from STELLA.
