Shimano Vanford/Zodias First Impressions and Fishing

In this video, I tested out my newest spinning combo, the Shimano Vanford paired with the Shimano Zodias. This combo performed really well, and I'm excited to use it more in the future. Despite the high price point for both these items, they felt like very high quality and seemed to be worth the price.

Whoa.....Aaron going with the bling! 💰💰💰

[@Cornelius798]

That's a nice pond and the bass were beautiful. Roboworms rock on a drop shot!

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

I like my 6’9” medium heavy zodias/zanford but I kinda wish I had got the medium like John has. I’m eyeballing the 7’ light for crappie and real finesse kinda stuff.

[@mikegardiner3934]

nice vid, Aaron! You will love that rod/reel combo! I actually have a Zodias is as my casting jig rod and absolutely love it. I have a couple of static spinning reels and got a vangord last year. Terrific investment. :-)

Great video!

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Those were all pretty bass and that one was a very nice one. I like Shimano reels to, i have some the older ones and if you greese them and keep them up they should last you a life time. Thank you for sharing and God bless you and your whole family......🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀👍

Dang nice Bass!, and we got to see puppy dog go for a swim! Win win!!

[@bobgibbs4105]

Nice fish… I hope you enjoy that rod & reel!

[@allroundanglingat]

Awesome video, the first fish was huuge. I hope that I am able to catch a big bass like that when I'm going back to the US in the future!

[@joecalcagni9615]

Awesome! I have a Vanford on an Expride and my old Ci4+ on a Zodias. Great rods and reels! With that big one, though, make sure you keep them in the water and just get a quick measurement, then back in the water. You want to be able to catch that old girl again!

[@Digbite]

Awesome catch on ya new gear.

[@borodafishing7706]

It was a great duet (Vanford/Zodias)! But I'm using a different pair... Good luck!

[@mr.s3806]

Looks really nice combo. Which model rod and reel is this ?

[@MikeG02061]

Great video. Could you verify that the rod is the 6.9 medium and is the reel the smallest size 500? Thank you!

[@antoneyrizzato5880]

Hi, which model of zodias is it? Has solid tip?

[@rendynyo205]

I have medium light zodias 6'8, but i am confused which vanford should I pair with

[@stevenm6301]

"Probably going to have to boat flip him." Why?

[@user-yh4xo8fv9c]

boatflipping a 4+ lbs bass, with that rod made my heart stop. i dont understand american obsession with boatflipping just use a net or use your hand
