The all new Shimano Vanford is designed to become the ultimate finesse fishing reel with a super-fast start up.
Replacing the iconic Stradic Ci4+, this reel is equipped with a range of technology upgrades that sets the Vanford apart.
Still drawing upon a lightweight Ci4+ body construction, the new MagnumLite (MGL) rotor makes the reel 48% lighter to turn when compared to a standard rotor design.
The Vanford features Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE Gear and many of Shimano’s premium technologies for increased fishing performance and years of durability.
Vanford’s SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration.
X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.
This has increased the durability of the Vanford’s roller clutch and line roller to an IPX8 standard.
By incorporating the new Long Stroke Spool design, casting performance has also been improved.
A legend is born.
