Description / Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reel
Shimano is a globally recognized leader in fishing tackle, with a history spanning over 100 years. Founded in Japan, the company is renowned for its commitment to precision engineering and for producing cutting-edge reels and rods trusted by anglers worldwide for their quality and performance. The Vanford’s ultra-light sensitivity is a result of advanced manufacturing. Both the rotor (MGL Rotor) and the G Free Body are engineered from Shimano’s exclusive Ci4+ composite material, ensuring the reel is exceptionally light yet strong. Internally, the reel is powered by HAGANE Gear and MicroModule II technology, where gearing is cut and polished for seamless meshing and enhanced durability. The reel incorporates X Protect to provide high-level water resistance without sacrificing light rotation.
The key feature of the Vanford is its blend of featherlight operation and powerful durability. The second-generation Magnumlite Rotor requires almost no inertia to start, providing an ultra-light and smooth retrieve, ideal for finesse techniques. Internal technologies like InfinityDrive and InfinityXross increase winding power and enhance gear durability, ensuring flawless performance even with larger fish. SilentDrive minimizes any movement within the internal structure, delivering smooth, quiet operation. The Duracross Drag System offers an exceptional level of smooth, consistent control. An integrated Anti-Twist Fin controls line pressure, ensuring trouble-free line management with lightweight lures or braided lines.
The Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reel is available in a range of models for you to choose from in our drop-down menu and features an aesthetically pleasing black and red colouration.
