About this reel

The Shimano VANFORD 2500HG is constructed with an ultra-lightweight CI4+ body and a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor, delivering incredibly low start-up inertia for instant response. Perfect for the New Zealand fishing scenario, this 2500-size powerhouse is ideal for flicking light soft baits at wary Snapper in the shallows or targeting large Trout in backcountry rivers. With its advanced water-resistant X-Protect technology, it handles both harsh saltwater flats and crisp freshwater lakes with ease.

  • CI4+ Body Construction – Provides a rigid yet incredibly lightweight foundation to reduce angler fatigue during long sessions.
  • MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor – Decreases rotational inertia for a lightning-fast response and ultra-smooth winding feel.
  • Cold-Forged HAGANE Gear – Ensures long-lasting durability and relentless power even when fighting aggressive fish.
  • X-Protect Technology – Utilises a water-repellent coating and labyrinth construction to keep harsh saltwater out of the internals.
  • Silent Drive System – Eliminates microscopic handle play and operational noise for a pure, seamless retrieval experience.
  • Long Stroke Spool – Increases your casting distance and improves line lay, perfect for flicking light lures.
