Shimano Vanquish is the pure embodiment of Shimano's Magnumlite philosophy "Beyond Lightness!".
Made with Japanese precision, it is the ultimate lightweight Spinning reel for those who demand high performance gear. The responsiveness and extremely smooth operation of the reel make it perfect for fishing with ultralight techniques for perch, trout, and pike. Vanquish comes in many sizes and can be used for a variety of fishing methods and target species, including spinning in coastal saltwater with the larger 4000 and 5000 models. Vanquish helps every angler achieve their optimal performance. The first thing you notice when holding the reel is its extremely low weight. The medium-sized 3000 model weighs only 170 g! Vanquish sets new standards for quality in ultralight fishing. Shimano has set "Beyond Lightness" as the goal in development and constructed an extremely light and incredibly smooth reel. Vanquish is the lightest MGL reel Shimano has ever produced and is also packed with exclusive high-tech features typically found only in the flagship Stella model.
The low total weight is based on the extensive use of Shimano's exclusive and very lightweight Ci4+ composite material. Additionally, the light Magnumlite rotor reduces the reel's total weight and also provides incredibly low inertia at the start of each turn of the handle. This extremely low start-up resistance provides advantages, especially in UL and finesse fishing. With Vanquish, these fishing techniques can be used even more effectively. Due to the extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, there is also no play in the handle, allowing for super precise performance.
Another major advantage is the InfinityDrive technology. This technology offers a powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy load. In extreme situations, you can maintain a constant, even winding pressure, which is very useful when tackling large fish.
The InfinityLoop technology significantly improves casting distance. This allows you to reach interesting spots further out with super light lures. Additional advanced technologies like InfinityXross, X-Protect, and Anti-Twist Fin also contribute to this reel's remarkable technical performance.
For those who don't want to compromise on quality and performance with their ultralight gear, this reel is a must-have.
