Vanford A Spinning Reels

Description

Details

Continuing a legacy of pursuing reduced weight, lower start-up inertia and enhanced sensitivity, the Shimano Vanford A elevates the MagnumLite lineup of spinning reels with technology passed down from Shimano flagship series. An MGL Rotor highlights the all-new Vanford A to provide anglers with heightened performance when employing “start-and-stop” finesse bass techniques or when needing quick hook-setting execution. Combined with the lightweight CI4+ body, the Vanford’s low start-up inertia enables anglers to maintain complete control using tactics requiring immediate reel action to keep the lure within the strike zone, enabling them to adjust cadence based on fish behavior. Equipped with InfinityXross technology — a refined gear design that enhances winding efficiency and provides supremely smooth retrievals — offers 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 A boasts many of Shimano’s latest flagship technologies to ensure unparalleled smoothness and performance.

Features:
• HAGANE is a Shimano reel design created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse.
• HAGANE Gear gives the long-lasting smoothness that anglers feel when they first use a reel, over and over again.
• MicroModule Gear II has a state-of-the-art gear-tooth design.
• X-Ship Spinning improves gear durability, allowing the gears to stay in position under the heaviest of loads, giving the benefits of enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
• InfinityXross provides superior gear durability.
• Infinity Drive is an advanced structure that creates exceptionally light winding.
• DuraCross provides smooth and reliable drag performance with incredible durability.
• SilentDrive’s technology removes unnecessary noise and vibration.
• MGL Rotor produces unprecedented light rotation with rigidity up to 30% higher than conventional models, contributing to enhanced drag performance.
• Anti-twist Fin enhances line management resulting in more effective fishing.
• G-Free Body technology moves the reel’s center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, helping to reduce fatigue and enhancing casting comfort.
• The Long Stroke Spool has a longer stroke than conventional spool designs, producing smoother line lay during retrieval, translating into increased casting distance.
• CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5 times more rigid, improving lightness and regidity and reducing reel size and weight.
• S A-RB bearings feature shields on both sides of the bearings, reducing the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
• The One-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller; reducing friction and decreasing the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
