2024 VANFORD | Extreme Fast | Ultra Lightweight | Super Sensitive

"Super sensitivity and light weight" to be controlled at will.
fish.shimano.c...
As the core model of the Magnumlite series which pursues lightness and reeling response, VANFORD is active in a wide range of game including technical and finesse fishing.
The new model inherits the lightweight operation, sensitivity, and comfortable winding feel of the previous model, while the INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE have further improved the powerful winding and durability of the gear.
By adopting DURACROSS with excellent abrasion resistance, the durability of the drag has been greatly improved by approximately 10 times compared to conventional products under SHIMANO's standard.
In addition, the newly equipped ANTITWISTFIN suppresses line trouble and further accelerates the comfort of use.
A total of 13 items, including the newly introduced C2500SXG, cover everything from area trout and bass fishing to squid fishing, sea bass, and shore jigging, thus the lineup is suitable for the new era of lure game.

I have the 2500 which is my go-to all time favourite reel. Will get a bigger model this time.

[@deebz22]

Even though i have the Stradic FM in 2500 this might b my new inshore/fluke reel

[@artificialslinger9730]

As a big time Shimano fan Let's hope they fix the cheap ass feeling that the 2020 version had. Right now the old stradic ci4+ was built way better and had a premium feel to it vs the Vanford 2020

The new vanford is a beast, you'll see. I already had it on my hands !

[@artificialslinger9730]

@@regisroeckel7315 that's great news to hear !!! Love the look of it

[@formatr6]

I hope the drag is better than the last vanford. I couldnt use it and had to sell all of them.

[@TeppanGod]

Would just spend the extra 100$ or so and get another Vanquish tbh

[@aviramfishermannature4337]

When we can order the new model in fishing stores?

What is the difference between the old and the 2024

[@twenty4doubles965]

The look, more tecnologi like stella/vanquish

[@regisroeckel7315]

Duracross brake, infinity technologies, anti twist fin

[@amirsyah8194]

new body, rotor design from 2023 vanquish instead of older 2019 vanquish, 4 new technologies adapted from stella (duracross, infinitydrive, infinityxross, anti-twist fin), new overall appearance

[@i.o.3563]

They didn't incorporate that slow spool speed and parallel winding, did they? I hope they realised what a mistake that system was.

[@linekerkb]

Base on the website it do have the infinity loop

[@i.o.3563]

@@linekerkb maybe I was looking badly, but I didn't find Infinity Loop amongst tech on their Japanese website.

[@artificialslinger9730]

I actually like that feature.

[@i.o.3563]

@@artificialslinger9730 it has its perks but some of my friends had some backlashes with really thin braid. I saw here on youtube some Japanese chap had issues with it as well. With older system there were no issues whatsoever. About 20 years back they incorporated a system like this on, had to ditch it afterwards. It seems history repeats itself.

[@Boris29311]

I wished they improved the lineroller too 😢

[@artificialslinger9730]

Add drag grease to the line roller bearing its basically a makeshift seal. No issues ok over 6 years now

[@aleksandarv8149]

I needed to changed it 2 times so far.

[@Lobo-tommy10]

Oil.

[@aleksandarv8149]

@@Lobo-tommy10 it was oiled but freezing weather at night fishing zander.

@@aleksandarv8149 hmmm. I see. Air below freezing with braid..

[@adambailey1993]

Why did the 1000 size have to sit this one out?

[@Rheinländer]

New model ?

[@fishingislife34]

Yes

[@valdasz.8164]

The quality of "Shimano" reels is getting worse and worse, marketing fools people that it's innovation, but it's a bunch of cheap crap.
