Shimano Vanford, the ideal reel for light game in saltwater and finesse in freshwater

Shimano Vanford

There are few reels better suited to the light game than the Shimano Vanford.

If we take a look at the weight of the various models we can see that whatever the size, the Shimano Vanford shines as one of the lightest on the market, especially when compared to reels in the same price range. 

The brand has worked hard to achieve this, the CI4+ body and rotor certainly contribute a lot to the weight reduction and by having such a light rotor the Shimano Vanford starts very fast and also stops quickly as the inertia of the rotor is dramatically reduced. This advantage can be used in situations where the lure has to swim away as soon as it hits the water, without the slightest delay. 

The Shimano Vanford is a reel that we can use with the utmost peace of mind in saltwater and, of course, in freshwater. Light game, ajing, rockfishing, trout, cyprinids, are some of the techniques that are best suited to this precision machine. Another advantage is found in the spool, look closely. The Vanford's spool is 4mm higher than the Stradic's, to give an example, and this allows the line to be distributed more evenly and widely and increases the casting capacity, a prerogative not to be underestimated when we are working with very light lures.

There's a lot of engineering concentration in the Shimano Vanford and it's all focused on maximum enjoyment in light and ultra-light spinfishing, zero vibration, precise and long-range casting, sensitive drag and that feeling of weightlessness that is most welcome when you're fishing with this type of equipment.
