Shimano Vanford FA 2500S: An Exceptionally Sensitive Lightweight Spinning Reel for Finesse Fishing
The Shimano Vanford FA is one of Shimano’s most sensitive spinning reels, perfect for a wide range of finesse fishing techniques. As part of the Magnumlite Series, the Vanford pushes the boundaries of lightweight design and engineering, delivering a remarkable level of sensitivity and control that's hard to match. With its refined touch, Vanford FA provides the control and balance you need for successful light lure fishing.

The Vanford FA has an ultra-light rotation startup - you’ll hardly notice when the rotor starts moving. Pair this reel with a high-quality finesse rod, and you’ll immediately experience enhanced balance, allowing you to fish comfortably for longer periods without fatigue. With unparalleled lightness and control, this reel enhances your fishing experience and increases your chances of success.

Vanford’s sensitivity is due in part to the second-generation Magnumlite Rotor and Shimano’s exclusive Ci4+ composite material, giving it an exceptionally lightweight feel. Inside, the HAGANE Gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross, and Silent Drive work seamlessly to deliver smooth performance and surprising power. Vanford also includes Shimano’s advanced Duracross drag, which provides precise control when fighting strong fish. For trouble-free line management, the Anti-Twist Fin regulates line tension through the roller, making it especially useful when fishing with light lures.
