The Shimano Vanford is the core model in Shimanoâs Magnum Light series, engineered for anglers who demand ultimate lightness, sensitivity, and reeling response. Designed for finesse and technical lure styles, it delivers effortless control across a wide range of inshore and freshwater applications in NZ.
Building on the smooth operability and comfort of its predecessor, the new Vanford introduces InfinityXross and InfinityDrive for more powerful cranking and improved long-term gear durability. Its Duracross drag system provides up to ten times greater abrasion resistance and longevity compared to previous models, while the addition of Anti-Twist Fins reduces line trouble for smoother, stress-free fishing.
Perfect for trout and perch in freshwater, and equally at home chasing snapper, kahawai, trevally, and squid inshore, the Vanford delivers lightweight precision, advanced durability, and Shimano innovation â a reel built for the new era of lure fishing.
