Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reel

Shimano responds to demands with a revamped and perhaps the most sought-after reel of all time – the 24 Vanford is here! The Shimano Vanford FA spinning reel is the ultimate choice for delicate and precision-demanding fishing in both freshwater and salty seacoasts. This reel brings to your use cutting-edge technologies, such as the unique MGL rotor, which makes reeling incredibly light and sensitive – a perfect choice when precise lure control is everything. New InfinityXross, InfinityDrive, and Duracross features make the Vanford more durable and stiffer, so you can rely on it even when exhausting the biggest fish. A special feature of the Vanford, the Anti Twist Fin, ensures that the line does not slacken, which is critical especially in subtle fishing techniques. The Vanford positions itself between the Shimano Magnumlite spinning reel series' Sustain and Miravel models, offering excellent performance and reliability. Key Innovations: • InfinityXross – Updates in the design of the tooth surface and manufacturing technology distribute the load more efficiently. • InfinityDrive – Powerful initiation of reeling that maintains control. Significantly reduces friction in the drive train. • DuraCross – Unmatched wear resistance as well as smooth and reliable drag. • Anti Twist Fin – A structure that prevents line slackening. Whether you're an experienced angler or a casual adventurer, the Shimano 24 Vanford FA spinning reel brings new depth and efficiency to your fishing experience. This reel not only improves your performance in the water, but also makes your fishing moments more enjoyable and successful. GEARING • INFINITYXROSS gearing offers more durability, especially under extreme pressure, which extends the life and performance reliability of the reel. • INFINITYDRIVE produces a powerful, yet light rotation especially under heavy load. In extreme situations, you can still maintain constant and even reeling pressure. • HAGANE GEAR – The gear system is designed to withstand continuous use and severe stress. The Hagane gear operates very precisely and without friction, making the reeling feel and power optimal. Hagane gears use cold-forged, pure, unrecycled aluminum. Forging results in a more durable casting due to changes in the metal's internal crystal structure, as well as the smoothest and most friction-free gear surfaces possible. • MICROMODULE II is an improved version of the previous Micro Module. The main gear's teeth have been further enhanced, keeping the gears constantly engaged, so the feel is impeccable. The reel's sensitivity also significantly improves in practice, as the play is reduced to virtually nothing. • X SHIP feature means that critical parts of the mechanism are supported at both ends precisely in their places. Thus, you have plenty of power and torque, which you'll notice when you're battling your record fish! • SILENT DRIVE technology offers a very smooth and quiet rotation. FRAME • CI4+ material is a perfect blend of carbon fiber and polyamide. Nearly as strong as metal, yet with the lightness of a composite. • MGL ROTOR – Rotor made from Ci4+ material. Shimano's Ci4+ composite material is very durable and lightweight. Ci4+ contains no metals, so it cannot rust at any stage. • G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod handle. Moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand helps reduce fatigue and improves casting comfort. SPOOL • AR-C SPOOL – One of Shimano's patents relates to the design of the front edge of the AR-C spool, which practically makes casting frictionless. As a result, the line departs from the spool almost straight towards the first rod ring. This minimizes the friction at the rod ring closest to the reel, and there's no need for an oversized ring on the rod. The aluminum cold-forged spool allows for significantly thinner machining than normally machined spools. Lightness without compromising the durability of the spool. • LONG STROKE SPOOL enhances the lengths of casts OTHER FEATURES • DURACROSS braking system offers better brake smoothness, durability, and hooking power. • ANTI TWIST FIN – A feature developed for trouble-free line management that keeps the line tight and minimizes line tangles. • X PROTECT protects the reel's internals from water and dirt. The protection covers both the reel body and the line guide bearing. • S-ARB bearings are made from stainless steel. The surface of the ARB bearing is harder than a normal bearing, reducing rolling resistance. Additionally, this type of bearing is significantly more corrosion-resistant than ordinary steel bearings. Furthermore, the S-type bearing is sealed, preventing dirt from reaching the bearing. • ONE PIECE BAIL means that the line guide's bail is machined from a single piece and contains no joints where the line could snag. Therefore, the bail is more durable and, as a result, the line returns more quickly to the line guide bearing, reducing line twist.
