Shimano VANFORD 1000F with PGC 8-17 7'0" CHAOS Gold Combo

Shimano VANFORD 1000F

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.


PGC 8-17 7'0" CHAOS Gold

Very sensitive lightweight conventional made from IM-6 graphite blanks for flats and freshwater fishing. Much lighter and thinner than our E-glass rods, ideally suited when sensitivity is key. Guides under wrapped with gold thread so they never touch the blank and then double wrapped with black thread for maximum strength.
