Jap Twinpower or New Sustain
Submitted by jay_burgess on Tue, 2007-10-02 17:23
For around the same cost I can either get a Jap twinpower 4000 or one of the new Sustain 4000FE's. The new sustain looks like a fine piece of machinery and I'm tempted to go with it despite it being the more deerer of the two. I've also heard very good reports about the Japanese twin power so I'd like you're oppinions please.

I havent used the jap ones
I havent used the jap ones only aus and have owed both of them. id deffently go with the twin power as they IMO a far better reel alround. Trust me when i say you wont be disapointed with a twinpower.

sol
there is very little difference between a 3000 sol and a shimano 4000...i used to have a sol 3000 jay, recently sold it. Loved the reel...running 15-20lb braid no worries and they are tough as balls.
also can put a rcs power handle on it if u did want...

I got the reel of Sam and
I got the reel of Sam and have put it through it's paces lately, plenty of 30-40cm pinkies on it and it handles them no probs in 40m of water. Also had a few dhuies on it behind 3 mile reef on a drift bait and took care of those easily aswell.
Nothing real huge on it yet, but from what I've caught on it, I would recommend.
