<meta charset="utf-8"> <p>The Shimano Vanford Spin Reel combines features that together create a lightweight finesse spin reel that's still strong, durable and saltwater-ready. 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 <strong>MGL rotor</strong> makes the reel 48% lighter to turn when compared to a standard rotor design. <strong>Micromodule Gear II</strong> and <strong>Silent Drive</strong> is featured in the new Vanford and the <strong>Hagane Gear</strong> has been upgraded for added strength. <strong>X-Protect</strong> provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. This has increased the durability of the Vanford's roller clutch and line roller to an IPX8 standard. By incorporating the new <strong>Long Stroke Spool</strong> design, casting performance has also been improved.</p> <h3>Features:</h3> <ul> <li>Ci4+</li> <li>MGL rotor</li> <li>Hagane gear</li> <li>Micromodule II</li> <li>X-Ship</li> <li>X Protect</li> <li>Silent drive</li> <li>G-Free body</li> <li>Long stroke spool</li> <li>S A-RB bearings</li> <li>One-piece bail</li> <li>AR-C spool</li> </ul>
