Fishforlife, check out the Stradic 1000 MGF. I came across this one in the 2500 size when shopping for my Sustain. I was going to buy the Stradic 2500 MGF, but it doesn't hold enough line for my purposes. I know Outdoor Emporium in Seattle has or had the 2500 size, but not sure about the 1000 size. My Sustain casts like a dream. Furthermore, I haven't had any major line twist problems, which is nice cause I like to switch up between spinners and drift fishing.
