Plus you get the new Shimano #KAOS rod in orange colour that's built for ultimate comfort for all day fishing.

The Reel
The rebirth of the Shimano Sustain C3000FI XG Spinning Reel with the new FI series is one that remains true to its outlast and outperform reputation. The much anticipated release of the Sustain FI has challenged Shimano to deliver a reel that exceeds expectations and sets a new benchmark for saltwater performance. With the challenge now set, Shimano has engineered a spinning reel that offers the perfect balance between rigidity and sensitivity.

Aluminium Hagane Body
By leveraging the benefits of the Aluminium Hagane Body, the Sustain FI possesses the rigidity of a metal outer shell that maximises impact resistance whilst eliminating body flex under load. To provide enhanced sensitivity, a Magnumlite Rotor has been fitted to the Sustain FI series and offers an effortless low inertia rotation. This is a significant improvement on the previous Sustain FG model, as the bail trip lever has now been moved to the opposite side of the line roller, negating the need for heavy bail hold support.

X Protect
To oppose unwanted saltwater intrusion, X Protect technology provides the Sustain FI with Shimano's highest degree of waterproofing protection. Such technology leverages both a water repellent treatment and labyrinth structure that blocks any internal saltwater entry into the reels internals.

Hagane Gear and X-Ship
The cold forged Hagane Gear and X-Ship combine to provide a gearing system that is smoother and stronger than any other available in the market. This gives the reel a much smoother gear transition but also unrivalled pulling power to handle larger predatory species.

A-RB
Featuring 8+1 Shielded A-RB bearings and drag output of 9kg, the Sustain FI is finished in a predominately black cosmetic that provides a premium finish to match its high-performance pedigree.

The Rod
The new Shimano #KAOS Spinning Rod is designed from the ground up by the team at Shimano NZ to suit New Zealand species and fishing conditions. Featuring the new vibrant WINN grips, this rod not only provides top end comfort, but also a unique feel, only previously found in custom rod builds. The T45 blank construction, with its internal carbon wrap is used on industry leading Toray carbon which creates a light, balanced and crisp action with outstanding blank recovery. The #KAOS also features Fuji soft touch reel seats and guides to highlight and complete the whole aesthetics and quality of this class leading rod. When it comes to lure fishing, whether it's dropping Shimano metal lures or casting softbaits and small top water lures, the Shimano #KAOS has it covered.

WINN Grips
Unlike traditional cork or EVA grips, the new WINN grips are made from high quality polymer formulated to provide firmness, texture, sensitivity and comfort even when wet.
