Vanford series of reels are super light, super strong, super smooth
Shimano has taken another big step toward providing fishermen with some of the best tackle on the market, this time with a spinning reel, the Vanford series, that combines light weight, strength and many of the brand’s top-draw features.
The Vanford series includes seven reels of different sizes, from the tiny VF500F, which weighs less than 5 ounces and handles 2-, 4- and 6-pound test, to the VFC500XGF, which weighs almost 8 ounces and handles up to 14-pound test mono or 40-pound braid.
The Vanfords have a Ci4+ body that’s light, but with carbon-fiber strngth, plus a MagnumLight rotor that provides almost 50% less rotational inertia, plus the HAGANE gear, Silent Drive and MicroModule Gear iI for smooth performance. The Long Stroke Spool allows for greater casting distance. Its X-protect technology insures that it will repel the potential problems that the toughest saltwater environment can provide.
MSRP: $229.99
