Vanford FA

Ultra-Light Finesse Performance

Thanks to the second-generation Magnumlite Rotor and Ci4+ body construction, the reel starts with minimal inertia and remains extremely stable during retrieves. This provides a noticeably smoother and faster reaction when working soft baits, small hard lures or micro-jigs.

Advanced Rotor and Gear Technology

Internally, the Vanford FA features Shimano’s latest engineering: HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross and SilentDrive. These systems combine to produce outstanding rotational smoothness, long-lasting durability and impressive power delivery for its lightweight class.

Smooth Drag and Line Management

The reel is equipped with the Duracross drag system, offering consistent pressure and precise control even during sudden runs from powerful fish. The Anti-Twist Fin stabilises the line as it enters the roller, improving line lay and reliability when using thin braid or fine leaders.

The Shimano Vanford FA is an excellent match for high-quality finesse rods, delivering a perfectly balanced setup for long sessions, delicate presentations and maximum fishing comfort.
