Continuing a legacy of pursuing reduced weight, lower start-up inertia and enhanced
sensitivity, the Shimano Vanford A elevates the MagnumLite lineup of spinning reels
with technology passed down from Shimano flagship series. An MGL Rotor highlights
the all-new Vanford A to provide anglers with heightened performance when
employing “start-and-stop” finesse bass techniques or when needing quick hooksetting execution. Combined with the lightweight CI4+ body, the Vanford’s low startup inertia enables anglers to maintain complete control using tactics requiring
immediate reel action to keep the lure within the strike zone, enabling them to adjust
cadence based on fish behavior. 

Equipped with InfinityXross technology — a refined
gear design that enhances winding efficiency and provides supremely smooth
retrievals — offers heightened control when finesse fishing, enabling delicate
presentations and precise lure manipulation. Shimano engineers incorporated
Infinity Drive technology to reduce contact between the spool shaft and pinion
gear to enhance smoothness and efficiency during retrieval. Merging the
smooth performance of felt with the wear resistance of carbon, DuraCross drag
technology increases drag durability tenfold, providing confidence when battling
big fish. Setting the standard as the premier spinning reel for finesse anglers,
Vanford A boasts many of Shimano’s latest flagship technologies to ensure
unparalleled smoothness and performance.
