The ALL-NEW Shimano Vanford A: The Measure in Performance

Shimano's MagnumLite series drives the evolution of fishing performance with its new Vanford A family of spinning reels.

Meeting an angler's demand for comfort and precise lure control, Shimano's MagnumLite series drives the evolution of fishing performance with the new Vanford A family of spinning reels. The MagnumLite's rotors are constructed from lightweight materials to minimize rotational resistance through a balanced wall thickness reduction, which also creates notable durability. A lighter rotor requires less force to start reeling and benefits anglers when they need to move the handle quickly to adjust to different fishing situations or to control the handle more directly to influence lure action. Featuring a reinforced structure with high-strength carbon fiber mixed into resin, the rotor and body will maximize sensitivity and operation. This CI4+ material also exhibits impressive rigidity under pressure when compared to general reinforced resin. Modern anglers who demand precise control every day they spend on the water will find plenty of benefits from the new Vanford A.
