The Shimano Vanford is one of the most sensitive and advanced spinning reels in the Magnumlite series. Designed to excel in finesse fishing, it combines lightweight design, precision, and innovation to deliver outstanding performance on the water. Its MGL rotor, crafted from Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite, significantly reduces inertia, offering an almost imperceptible smoothness of movement.
Internally, cutting-edge technologies like HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, InfinityDrive, and Silent Drive work in perfect harmony to ensure exceptional durability and unparalleled smoothness. The Duracross drag provides precise control, ideal for handling the most combative fish, while the Anti-Twist Fin optimizes line management, even with ultra-light lures.
Pair the Vanford with a high-quality lightweight rod, and you’ll achieve perfect balance, allowing you to fish longer, more efficiently, and with greater enjoyment. With the Shimano Vanford, every fishing trip becomes a unique and unforgettable experience.
