This Spinning reel from Shimano has been sculpted from over a decade of engineering advancement and a rich lineage of predecessors.

The Vanford F reel tests the boundaries of technology and engineering found in previous spinning reels thanks to it being built upon a CI4+ body for both a lightweight feel and carbon rigidity.

• CI4+ body
•  MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor
• HAGANE Gear
• Vanfords SilentDrive
• MicroModule Gear II
• Long Stroke Spool

The Vanford incorporates a MagnumLite (MGL) rotor which helps with creating up to 48% less rotational inertia than traditional rotor construction. The MGL rotor also boasts a quick response in critical situations so you never lose a fish.

The Vanford reel also features Shimano's cold-forged HAGANE gear, the Vanfords SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies which combined produces a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration. There great gear technology on this spinning reel is designed for long-lasting fishing performance and durability, ideal for targeting predators.

Shimano's Vanford F reel also incorporates Long Stroke Spool technology to increase casting distance while producing a smoother line lay on the spool during retrieval. The X-Protect technology and water-channelling construction enhance the spinning reel's water resistance and overall durability. This is an important feature for a reel used on inshore environments.
