Description
Sculpted from over a decade of engineering advancement and a rich lineage of predecessors, the new Shimano Vanford spinning reel tests the boundaries of technology and engineering found in spinning reels. Built upon a CI4+ body for both a lightweight feel and carbon rigidity, the Shimano Vanford Spinning Reel incorporates a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor for up to 48% less rotational inertia than traditional rotor construction for a quick response in critical situations.
The Vanford Spinning Reel features Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE Gear and many of Shimano’s premium technologies for increased fishing performance and years of durability. Vanford’s SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration. Vanford also incorporates Long Stroke Spool technology to increase casting distance while producing a smoother line lay on the spool during retrieval. X-Protect technology and water-channeling construction enhances Vanford’s water resistance and overall durability — an important feature for a reel sure to be found in inshore environments.
From ice fishing and drop-shot fishing for smallies in the sweetwater to stalking tailing fish in the flats, the Shimano Vanford Spinning Reel is an amazing choice for anglers of all levels.
