Delivering a dose of strength, the Shimano Vanford Spinning Reels are built with HAGANE cold-forged aluminum gearing that is up to 30% stronger than the Stradic FK to ensure rugged and rigid performance. Built to last as well, they are reinforced with X-Protect technology that works to eliminate corrosion and performance loss over time. Complete with the Long Stroke Spool for optimized casting distance and smoother line lay on the spool, the Shimano Vanford Spinning Reels are the most technical and advanced spinning reels in their class.
