Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels
Super sensitivity and lightweight for ultimate control at will.
As the core model of the magnum light series which pursues lightness and reeling response, VANFORD is active in a wide range of game including technical and finesse fishing. The new model inherits the lightweight operation, sensitivity, and comfortable winding feel of the previous model, while the INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE have further improved the powerful winding and durability of the gear. By adopting DURACROSS with excellent abrasion resistance, the durability of the drag has been greatly improved by approximately 10 times compared to conventional products under SHIMANO's standard. In addition, the newly equipped ANTITWISTFIN suppresses line trouble and further accelerates the comfort of use.

New possibilities bought about by the lightness of the rotor.
In games where agility is important, the key is being able to control the lure's initial movement, the sharpness of its action, and the uniformity of reeling at will. The Magnumlite series focuses on this and introduces the lightweight Magnumlite Rotor. By thoroughly eliminating waste and achieving low inertia, the initial and still response of reeling is improved, sharpening the angler's senses and operability.
Lightness, sensitivity, and toughness.
The Vanford reel has been supported by many anglers as the core reel of the Magnumlite series. The new model retains the HAGANE gear, X-Protect, Micro Module Gear II, and other equipment, but also incorporates new technologies found in higher-end models such as Infinity Cross, Infinity Drive, Anti-Twist Fin, and Duracross. In addition to the well-known lightness, response, and sensitivity, the reel has further evolved in strength and toughness.
Technical Vanford, versatile Stradic.
Vanford from the Magnumlite series and Stradic from the Core Solid series. They are often compared because they are in a similar price range and lineup, but there is a clear difference in their design intent. Vanford from the Magnumlite series, which specializes in lightness and response, uses CI4+ for the body and rotor. With its light weight and low inertia, it excels in a style that allows you to seize instant opportunities and launch technical attacks.
On the other hand, the Stradic from the Core Solid series, which pursues stable reeling, is attractive for its versatility, which allows it to handle any type of fishing with ease, focusing on reeling. The rigidity of the aluminum body is also popular.
