The Vanford is one of the most sensitive spinning reels from Shimano. Perfect for a wide range of finesse fishing styles, the Vanford is part of the Magnumlite series and pushes the boundaries of technology and engineering, offering remarkable sensitivity that you can truly feel and will certainly appreciate. The inertia needed to get the Vanford rotor moving is almost imperceptible. It's hard to describe the sensation, but try it out and you'll instantly understand what we mean. The sensitivity and lightness give better control, and with control comes more effective fishing and therefore more success. Everyone benefits, and when it comes to lightweight combos for lure fishing, there are very few models that can compete with the Vanford. Pair it with any quality lightweight lure rod and you'll have a good balance, allowing you to fish better, longer, and increase your enjoyment to levels you never thought possible. The sensitivity of the Vanford is achieved thanks to the MGL rotor, which, like the body, is made from Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. That’s also why the reel is so light in hand. Internally, HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross, and Silent Drive technologies work together harmoniously to provide exceptional smoothness and great durability. The Vanford is also equipped with the Duracross brake from Shimano, which offers precise control for securing the catch of very combative fish. The anti-twist fin controls the pressure placed on the line as it passes over the roller. It is especially useful when fishing with very light lures.
