Shimano Vanquish Spinning Reel
Product information "Shimano Vanquish Spinning Reel"
The Shimano Vanquish is the lightest reel that the Japanese manufacturer has ever developed, even though it is packed with pretty much every sophisticated technology that Shimano has to offer. It's great for light to medium heavy fishing in fresh and saltwater, and despite its light weight, it's exceptionally durable and long lasting.
The well-known Hagane Gear is manufactured in a cold forging process, which ensures that the reel retains its extremely precise, smooth and powerful operation over a long period of time. The very precisely milled Micromodule Gear gears are designed for maximum precision, just like the X-Ship gear system, and thus not only additionally optimizes the running behavior of the reel, but also improve power transmission. By revising individual internal components, Shimano has developed the SilentDrive technology, whereby microscopic crank play is a thing of the past and the reel receives an incomparably quiet and smooth running, which is further improved by the total of 11+1 ball bearings.
The high-quality and lightweight Hagane reel body is characterized by immense resistance, stability and torsional rigidity. In addition, the reel body is protected by the X-Protect technology from water penetration, whereby the role retains its outstanding performance even under the most difficult conditions and is suitable even for use in salt water. By using two bearings, the Rigid Support Drag minimizes the slightest wobble of the spool and releases line continuously and smoothly. This is especially important when fishing with thin leaders, when the brake must start directly without resistance. Equally high quality is the bail made of one piece, whereby Shimano has not only significantly improved the stability, but also ensures a smooth guidance of the line, without interfering edges. The bail is attached to the MGL rotor, which is made of the well-known Ci4+ material. This minimizes the weight and starting inertia of the rotor and the special design noticeably improves the balance of the reel. The reel features a Long Stroke AR-C spool for better casting distance, which is further noticeably increased by the Aero Wrap II line wrapping.
The Vanquish’s light weight, sensitivity and resistance make it particularly suitable for demanding and light fishing for perch, zander and trout. The incredible smooth rotation allows for all day fishing without fatigue and precise jigging by using the reel. The reel is one of the best Shimano has ever brought to the market and enjoys immense popularity among all anglers with the highest demands on quality, weight, as well as running performance.
