Shimano 24 Vanford FA 2500HGA Spinning Fishing Reel

Description

Introducing the core model of the Magnum Light series, the VANFORD is designed to enhance lightness and reeling response for a wide range of fishing styles, including technical and finesse fishing. The new model retains the lightweight operation, sensitivity, and smooth winding of its predecessor while incorporating INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE technologies for improved gear power and durability. The use of DURACROSS, known for its excellent abrasion resistance, has enhanced drag durability by approximately 10 times compared to previous models under SHIMANO's standards. The newly added ANTITWISTFIN feature minimizes line troubles, further enhancing usability. With a lineup of 13 models, including the new C2500SXG, the VANFORD is versatile, covering everything from trout and bass fishing to squid, sea bass, and shore jigging, making it ideal for modern lure fishing enthusiasts.

Features & Technology:

• HAGANE Design

Hagane is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.

• HAGANE Gear

With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again.

• MICROMODULE II

The MICROMODULE Gear II has evolved with Shimano's unique manufacturing technology and  a state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The drive and pinion gear surfaces have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reduce sound.

• X SHIP

X Ship provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear and two points bearing supported pinion gear to produce a light reeling in under load.

• INFINITY XROSS

INFINITYXROSS provides superior gear durability through industry-leading design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. Advancements in the gear tooth design improve the surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion gear. This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.

• INFINITY DRIVE

Infinity drive for lever drag reel leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to product lighter rotation during high-drag situations.

• DURACROSS

DURACROSS provides smooth, reliable drag performance and incredible durability. The material is reinforced by weaving in new fibers in a manner orthogonal to the direction of the fibers that make up conventional drag washers. We have succeeded in increasing abrasion resistance more than 10 times while maintaining smooth drag performance.

• ANTI-TWIST FIN

Elastic fins are installed near the line roller section. By suppressing line slack, the fins reduce the phenomenon of line dropping out of the lower part of the spool and line wrapping around the spool while the line is still twisted.

• X PROTECT

For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.

• SILENT DRIVE

The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.
