Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels

Embodying Shimano's endless pursuit of reduced weight, lower start-up inertia, and enhanced sensitivity, the Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels are ready to improve the angler's game on the water, fine-tuned and perfected to deliver the ultimate experience.

MGL ROTOR

At the core of this reel's design is its MGL Rotor, enhancing the angler's control to effectively employ various "start-and-stop" tactics that are used in many different fisheries, readily maximizing lure performance. Its rotor design was expertly crafted to be asymmetrical for balance, along with having less mass and physical weight to reduce the needed startup inertia for turning the handle. Shimano's proprietary Ci4+ material enables this weight reduction, requiring very little material to retain the required strength needed to withstand flex from serious drag pressures.

REFINED GEAR DESIGN

With the use of both XfinityXross and Infinity Drive Technology, the Vanford FA yields a supremely smooth and precise rotation with a highly efficient drive chain which maximizes every bit of force anglers turn the handle with. XfinityXross Technology employs a refined gear design for this elevated experience, while Infinity Drive Technology reduces the contact of the spool shaft and pinion gear to mitigate friction which would diminish overall performance.

ROBUST DRAG SYSTEM

Merging the wear resistance of and reliability of carbon drag washers with the smooth and performance of felt, Shimano created a new material for its drag system for the best of both worlds. Known as their DuraCross drag system its combination of materials are woven into a unique pattern over the standard drag washer, with 10x the durability for improved performance.

FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY FOUND IN THE VANFORD FA SPINNING REELS:

Infinity Drive: Drastically reduces rotational torque, constructing a reel which can actively wind under heavy loads.
X-Protect: By combining a water repellant coating and a specially designed water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without adding weight or sacrificing light rotor rotation.
Hagane Body: A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to its stiffness and impact resistance. It's efficiency through strength.
Hagane Gearing: Cold-forged gearing for exceptional strength and durability, ensuring smooth performance from first use to long-term enjoyment.
MicroModule II Gear: State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
X-Ship: Eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
Anti-Twist Fin: Enhanced line management for more effective fishing.
Dura Cross Drag: Utilizes cutting-edge materials woven into a unique pattern over the standard drag washer. This drag has felt like smoothness, with ten times the durability to counter blistering, high velocity runs for seasons to come.
InfinityXross: The load on the gear teeth themselves is spread apart horizontally on a larger surface area, creating more efficiency, mitigating potential stress points, and improving overall gear durability.
Silent Drive: Reduces spool vibration and noise during casting, resulting in quieter and smoother rotations with minimal play.
MGL Rotor: The Magnumlight Rotor is 25% lighter and allows for better balance and requires 22% less inertia, which makes it easier to start and stop the retrieve for a smoother feel.
G-Free Body: Reduces fatigue and enhances casting comfort.
Propulsion Line Management System: The most obvious component of this system is the Propulsion spool lip design, which has been proven through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations to provide longer casts while preventing backlashes and wind knots.
S A-RB Bearings: Undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
Long Stroke Spool: Results in the line having to change direction while coming off the spool fewer times during a cast, resulting in less turbulence going through the guides for a smoother and longer cast.
One Piece Bail: A seamless design that allows the line to run unimpeded to the line roller. Reducing friction and mitigating line tangles is the name of the game.
Aero Wrap II: Utilizing a patented worm gear design, this two-speed oscillation system lays the line onto the spool in a X pattern that reduces line-on-line friction and helps to increase casting distance.
