VANFORD

The all new Vanford is designed to become the ultimate finesse fishing reel with a super-fast start up. Replacing the iconic Stradic Ci4+, this reel is equipped with a range of technology upgrades that sets the Vanford apart. Still drawing upon a lightweight Ci4+ body construction, the new MGL rotor makes the reel 48% lighter to turn when compared to a standard rotor design. X-Protect provides high-level water resistance. This has increased the durability of the Vanford’s roller clutch and line roller to an IPX8 standard. By incorporating the new Long Stroke Spool design, casting performance has also been improved.

Product Technologies

Hagane Body Hagane Body Made of highly rigid metals such as aluminium and magnesium. Weight has been greatly reduced while reel flexure, warp and distortion has been eliminated, allowing for smooth reeling with little power loss.	Micromodule Gear II Micromodule Gear II The most advanced tooth designed evolved from Shimano's unique manufacturing technology. In our pursue for the ideal tooth shape, we've redesigned the teeth of the gears right down to the tooth's surface. Gear noise has also been reduced while improving reeling smoothness.	X-Ship X-Ship X-Ship system gives you smooth reeling even under heavy loads. Shimano's unique mechanism for robust gear engagement uses and enlarged drive gear, optimum positioning of the pinion and drive gears and two-point support of the pinion gears whose ends are supported by bearings.	MGL Rotor MGL Rotor The redesigned Magnumlite Rotor delivers ultra light, almost friction free rotation, enabling yu to control retrieve with ultimate precision and sensitivity. Lures become even more animated when using an MGL Rotor reel, and the ultra light experience lets you feel everymovement of the lure, the bottom and ultimately the strike of the fish, no matter how small it is.	X-Protect X-Protect 6 times more resistant than Core Protect, X-Protect utilizes a labyrinth (maze) structure and water-repellent treatment to prevent water from entering the inner areas of a reel.
Silent Drive Silent Drive To eliminate the slightest gaps, looseness and vibrations between components in the drive section, we've re-examined the overall design and related parts one by one. Improvements were made to the drive gear, worm shaft, worm shaft pin and gear, achieving comfort with quietness. Experience smooth rotational performance in a new dimension.	G-Free Body G-Free Body G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the osciallation mechanism 19mm up from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler's hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhances casting comfort.	AR-C Spool AR-C Spool Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that AR-C spool lip design produces longer casting distances than a standard lip spool, while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the strip per guide. This results in longer casts with less friction.	CI4+ CI4+ We have upgraded our light-weight carbon material CI4. Keeping it light weight, rigidity and durability of the material under fishing conditions are highly improved. From this characteristics, we were able to reduce the volume and weight of the rotor and the body	Long Stroke Spool Long Stroke Spool The long stroke spool design improves casting performance when compared to the previous model due to the improved line flow from the spool.
S-ARB S-ARB Shielded Anti-Rust bearings are similar to A-RB, but feature additional shields for the ultimate protection.	One Piece Bail One Piece Bail One piece bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and the chance of tangles or cut to the bail arm.	海水OK 海水OK Saltwarer OK.
