Shimano Vanford FA 3000MHG

The Vanford is one of Shimano's most sensitive spinning reels. Perfect for a variety of finesse fishing styles, the Vanford belongs to the Magnumlite series and pushes the boundaries of technology and engineering. It offers remarkable sensitivity that you can truly feel and will certainly appreciate.

The inertia required to get the Vanford rotor moving is nearly imperceptible. It's hard to describe the sensation, but try it out, and you'll immediately understand what we mean. The sensitivity and lightweight design provide better control, and with control comes more efficient fishing and thus greater success. Everyone benefits, and when it comes to light combos for fishing with lures, there are very few models that can compete with the Vanford. Pair it with a lightweight, high-quality rod for lure fishing, and you'll achieve a good balance that allows you to catch better and longer, enhancing your enjoyment to levels you didn't think possible.

The sensitivity of the Vanford is achieved through the MGL rotor, which, like the body, is made from Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. That's why the reel feels so light in hand. Internally, the technologies HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross, and Silent Drive work harmoniously together to provide exceptional smoothness and high durability. The Vanford is also equipped with Shimano's Duracross brake, which offers precise control to secure the catch of very strong fighting fish. The anti-twist fin controls the pressure on the line as it runs over the reel, making it particularly useful when fishing with very light lures.
