The Vanford is among the most precise spinning reels in the entire Shimano range and is part of the renowned Magnumlite family. It was specifically developed for a variety of finesse techniques and combines state-of-the-art lightweight construction technology with impressive sensitivity, which one will immediately feel and appreciate. The resistance necessary to get the rotor moving is barely perceptible - a feeling that is hard to describe but which convinces instantly when first using the Vanford. Its sensitivity ensures optimal control, which in turn leads to better catching results. In the world of finesse rigs, there are few spinning reels that can keep up with the Vanford. Combined with a high-quality finesse spinning rod, it noticeably improves balance, enabling longer, more effective and enjoyable fishing. The impressive sensitivity of the Vanford is due to the second generation MGL rotor, which is made from Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This construction makes the reel exceptionally light and pleasant to handle. Inside, precise coordination of the most modern technologies such as HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross and Silent Drive ensure outstanding smoothness and impressive performance. In addition, the Vanford features Shimano's advanced Duracross Drag braking system, which guarantees precise control during drilling. For superior line management, the innovative Anti-Twist Fin technology is used. This effectively prevents sagging of the line between the line roller and reel - an advantage that is particularly noticeable when fishing with light lures or slackline techniques.
