Vanford FA
Vanford is one of Shimano’s 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. It’s 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.
It’s 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 Shimano’s 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 Shimano’s 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.
