Description

NEW Shimano Vanford FA

The Shimano Vanford is one of the most sensitive spinning reels in the entire Shimano range. As part of the Magnumlite family it is the ideal choice for a wide variety of finesse techniques. It sets new standards in lightweight technology and impresses with remarkable precision and finesse that can not only be felt but also fully exploited in practice.

The starting resistance needed to set the Vanford’s rotor in motion is almost imperceptible. It is hard to describe the feeling, but when you hold a Vanford in your own hand you know immediately what we mean. With sensitivity comes control, and with control come better catches.

It is a win-win situation, and when it comes to finesse rigs there are very few spinning reels that can compete with the Vanford. Combine it with a high-quality finesse spinning rod and the balance improves immediately, allowing you to fish more effectively, for longer and with more fun. The Vanford’s sensitivity is partly the result of the 2nd-generation MGL rotor, which is made together with the reel body from Shimano’s exclusive Ci4+ composite. That is also why the reel sits so lightly in the hand.

Inside the reel, HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, Infinity Xross and Silent Drive work together seamlessly to deliver smoothness and surprisingly strong performance. In addition, the Vanford benefits from Shimano’s advanced Duracross drag system, which guarantees very precise drag control during the fight. To take line management to a new level, the new Anti-Twist Fin technology prevents line sagging between the line roller and the spool, which is extremely beneficial especially when fishing light lures or slack-line techniques.
