Shimano Vanford A Spinning Reel
The Shimano Vanford you know and love is now here to provide anglers with enhanced performance utilizing Shimano's latest technology. Offering lightweight construction, enhanced sensitivity, low start-up inertia, and overall powerful performance, the Shimano Vanford A raises the bar. Elevating Shimano's MagnumLite lineup, the Vanford A features an MGL Rotor to provide precision control, allowing for low start-up inertia, which improves your ability to control baits in the strike zone. The Vanford is built with a lightweight CI4+ body that houses the InfinityXross technology, a refined gear system that improves retrieval smoothness and efficiency. Coupled with the Infinity Drive, which minimizes contact between the spool shaft and pinion gear for smooth reeling, the DuraCross drag technology ensures durability while fighting fish. The Vanford A is available in various sizes to accommodate all anglers' needs and provide optimal performance. The Vanford has been a staple for finesse anglers by offering a robust design and premier performance on the water.
