Description

Sculpted from over a decade of engineering advancement and a rich lineage of predecessors, the new Vanford tests the boundaries of technology and engineering found in spinning reels. Built upon a CI4+ body for both a lightweight feel and carbon rigidity, the Vanford incorporates a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor for up to 48% less rotational inertia than traditional rotor construction for a quick response in critical situations. The Vanford features Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE Gear and many of Shimano’s premium technologies for increased fishing performance and years of durability. Vanford’s SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration. Vanford also incorporates Long Stroke Spool technology to increase casting distance while producing a smoother line lay on the spool during retrieval. X-Protect technology and water-channeling construction enhances Vanford’s water resistance and overall durability — an important feature for a reel sure to be found in inshore environments. From ice fishing and drop-shot fishing for smallies in the sweetwater to stalking tailing fish in the flats, the Vanford has no equal. A legend is born.

    • Perfect reel for the money
Style: Gear Ratio: 6.4:1 | Size: 3000
Great reel. This is my third one (third rod/reel setup). IMO this is the best quality for the money in a reel (I feel the same about the Stradic too). Anything less has cheaper, less-smooth components, anything more has diminishing returns for the cost.

    • It might be perfect?!
Style: Gear Ratio: 6.0:1 | Size: 2500
Excellent quality. Perfect size. I bought my first one because I liked the concept of a larger spool on a smaller frame. I now own six! These are all I use when finesse fishing for bass.

    • Lightweight and SMOOTH!
This reel was suggested by a friend that knows fishing much better than I do. It's more than I have ever spent on a reel but I think its a good investment in a unit that will be long lasting. It was easy to assemble onto my new rod and fill with line. I found it super smooth to both cast and reel. It is very lightweight yet still extremely well made and appears durable. Highly recommended! ... show more

    • Mostly black not red like the photo shows.
Style: Gear Ratio: 6.0:1 | Size: 2500
The real is fine. However, the color does not match what is pictured. The red around the top of the spool and around the handle are not red. It's black. I have purchased this real several times and they where red. However, on this purchase they are black.

    • Really great choice!
Style: Gear Ratio: 6.0:1 | Size: 2500
I own several Stratic C14’s and the Vanford 2500 is a nice addition! Smooth as silk and well made! I filled the spool a little less than halfway with 12lb mono and the rest with 15lb Berkley X9 and a 10lb fluorocarbon leader. Casts really well and a pleasure to use. Currently paired with a St. Croix 6’8” MH Mojo Bass Rod. Very pleased with this purchase! ... show more
