Description
Vanford is one of Shimanos most sensitive spinning reels. Perfect for a wide range of finesse fishing styles, the Vanford is part of the Magnumlite Series and pushes the boundaries of lightweight technology and engineering, delivering remarkable finesse that you can actually feel and will most certainly appreciate.
The inertia required to start the Vanford rotor moving is almost imperceptible. Its hard to describe the sensation, but pick one up and you will immediately know what we mean. With sensitivity and lightness comes control, and with control comes better fishing and more success. Its a win-win and when it comes to lightweight lure fishing set-ups, there is very little that can compete with the Vanford. Combine it with any high quality finesse lure rod and you will immediately enhance the balance, enabling you to fish better, for longer and increasing your enjoyment to higher levels than you thought possible.
The sensitivity of the Vanford is partly as a result of the second generation Magnumlite Rotor, which along with the body is engineered from Shimanos exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is also why the reel feels so light in the hand. Internally, HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross and Silent Drive work seamlessly together to deliver smoothness and a deceptive amount of power. The Vanford is also fitted with Shimanos advanced Duracross drag, which provides exceptional, accurate control when playing hard fighting fish. For trouble-free line management Anti-Twist Fin controls the pressure on the line that goes through the line roller onto the spool and is especially benificial when fishing with very lightweight lures.
