Shimano Vanquish has been setting new standards in the ultra-light fishing arena for years and the new Vanquish FC range ensures this reputation is maintained and enhanced. Available in 12 models, from an ultra small 1000 size, suitable for the lightest and most delicate techniques you can think of, to a deceptively powerful and strong compact body 5000 size that can take on the challenge of powerful predators in both fresh and inshore saltwater environments. The new Vanquish goes beyond lightness like never befor has been crafted with the greatest Japanese precision and is designed for anglers who demand the ultimate out of themselves and their equipment.
Flagship of the MAGNUMLITE series, the response and smoothness make the Vanquish perfect for finesse techniques targeting perch, black bass, trout and zander, with a level of precision that offers noticeable advantages.
Responsive, sensitive and smooth – the ultimate light spinning reel
The first thing you’ll notice is the weight of the Vanquish, or rather the lack of it. The midsized 3000 size weighs only 170g. That’s remarkable and you will notice it, especially when combining the smaller sizes with high-end lightweight rods designed for finesse type techniques. The second, and probably the most pleasing aspect, is just how responsive, sensitive and smooth the Vanquish is when you use it. It responds so quickly and so precisely to your every movement and input that it feels like it has a life of its own, instinctively ready to anticipate your every thought. However, the Vanquish comes in many sizes and is not only limited to lightweight and finesse techniques. In the larger 4000 and 5000 sizes you can use it for many different and heavier techniques and species, including large crankbait fishing and inshore saltwater spinning where its power, control and efficiency are immediately apparent.
Meticulous precision that you can’t fail to notice
The Vanquish sets new quality standards in the ultra lightweight and finesse fishing domain. SHIMANO have gone ‘Beyond Lightness’ to create an ultimate light-winding mechanism with unrivalled characteristics. It is the pinnacle of finesse fishing reels and packed with the very best lightweight SHIMANO reel technologies including exclusive CI4+ composite.
In use the advantages are immediately noticeable. The extremely low inertia rotation start up is remarkable, delivering precision movement like never before. In addition, Shimano have erased any unwanted play in every component of the reel, which further enhances the meticulous precision of the reel. Combining these characteristics will make you will be able to fish more precise than ever!
Trusted engineering, enhanced by Shimano’s very latest fishing reel technologies
When playing powerful fish, INFINITYDRIVE enables you to maintain constant and consistent cranking pressure to take control of the situation. This technology produces deceptively powerful yet lightweight rotation, especially under heavy loads.
Improved casting distance and pin-point accuracy
One of the fundamentals of successful fishing is getting your lure in front of the fish and presenting it correctly. If they are feeding at long range, or hiding close to the security of cover, casting distance and pin-point accuracy are essential, but when using lightweight lures this can present a problem. If you use a larger lure to increase casting distance you lose the effectiveness of your finesse approach. INFINITYLOOP is a technology to help you overcome this difficult scenario. It is an ultra slow spool oscillation, with improved line lay, which measurably reduces line friction when casting and enables you to cast longer distances with lighter lures, and with more accuracy in tight situations. With Vanquish you can now reach areas previously unobtainable, without compromising on the weight, finesse and presentation of your lure.
Unrivalled quality and performance
The Vanquish is built for finesse fishing styles, but don’t underestimate its power. Shimano used its latest technologies derived mainly from Stella to make this reel also very powerful and durable. INFINITYXROSS produces a more durable gear construction by increasing the surface area and width of the teeth, which distributes the load more evenly. To protect the inside of the reel from water and dirt, SHIMANO have added its very best protection in the form of X-PROTECT. This technology keeps the water and dirt away from the internal components of the reel, whilst at the same time maintaining lightweight rotation feel, resulting in years of problem-free use. Another new feature is ANTI-TWIST FIN which results in better line management. By automatically controlling line tension around the bail-arm/line roller area, problem causing loops and tangles of line are a thing of the past, especially when using ultra fine braid.
