Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reel
Presenting the Shimano Vanford FA line of reels for 2024, elevating the MagnumLite lineup with technology passed down from Shimano flagship series, continuing a legacy of pursuing reduced weight, lower start-up inertia and enhanced sensitivity....
Equipped with InfinityXross technology - a refined gear design that enhances winding efficiency and provides supremely smooth retrievals - the reels offer heightened control when finesse fishing, enabling delicate presentations and precise lure manipulation. Shimano engineers incorporated Infinity Drive technology to reduce contact between the spool shaft and pinion gear to enhance smoothness and efficiency during retrieval. Merging the smooth performance of felt with the wear resistance of carbon, DuraCross drag technology increases drag durability tenfold, providing confidence when battling big fish. Setting the standard as the premier spinning reel for finesse anglers, Vanford FA boasts many of Shimano's latest flagship technologies to ensure unparalleled smoothness and performance.
