The Shimano Vanford FA VF500FA Spinning Reel integrates cutting-edge features inherited from Shimano's flagship series, continuing the pursuit of reduced weight, lower start-up inertia, and enhanced sensitivity. At the heart of its design is the MGL Rotor, elevating performance with smoothness and precision ideal for finesse techniques and quick hook-setting. The CI4+ lightweight body reduces inertia, granting anglers immediate control for nuanced lure manipulation and cadence adjustments tailored to fish behavior.
Equipped with InfinityXross technology, the Vanford FA ensures optimal winding efficiency and seamless retrievals, crucial for finesse fishing tactics. Infinity Drive technology further enhances smoothness by minimizing spool shaft contact, while the DuraCross drag system combines felt and carbon for unmatched durability under pressure, setting a new standard in drag performance. Built with Shimano's renowned HAGANE body and featuring X-Protect for enhanced water resistance, the Vanford FA is not just a reel but a precision tool designed to meet the demands of discerning anglers.
Features
• Infinity Drive for enhanced smoothness
