About this reel
The Shimano 24 Vanford 4000MHG sets a new benchmark in finesse spinning reels, built with Shimano’s ultra-lightweight CI4+ composite and featuring the incredibly responsive MGL rotor. Designed for low start-up inertia, this reel offers exceptional sensitivity and effortless retrieves, making it the perfect choice for New Zealand anglers casting soft plastics to wary snapper or spinning for kahawai. Its medium-high gear ratio ensures a versatile retrieve speed, giving you precise control over your lure action while maintaining the power needed to muscle hard-fighting coastal species.
- CI4+ Body Construction – Delivers a high-strength, incredibly lightweight frame that minimises angler fatigue during long sessions.
- MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor – Reduces start-up inertia for immediate rotational response and enhanced lure sensitivity.
- InfinityXross Gearing – Provides highly efficient gear tooth engagement for maximum durability and smooth power transfer.
- Duracross Drag System – Offers incredibly smooth, long-lasting drag performance that stands up to blistering runs.
- Anti-Twist Fin – Stabilises the line as it enters the line roller, reducing wind knots and tangles for hassle-free casting.
- X-Protect Sealing – Protects internal components from harsh saltwater intrusion without sacrificing rotational lightness.
