{"product_id":"shimano-vanguard-reel","title":"SHIMANO VANFORD REEL","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSculpted from over a decade of engineering advancement and a rich lineage of predecessors, the new Vanford tests the boundaries of technology and engineering found in spinning reels. Built upon a CI4+ body for both a lightweight feel and carbon rigidity, the Vanford incorporates a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor for up to 48% less rotational inertia than traditional rotor construction for a quick response in critical situations. The Vanford features Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE Gear and many of Shimano’s premium technologies for increased fishing performance and years of durability. Vanford’s SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration. Vanford also incorporates Long Stroke Spool technology to increase casting distance while producing a smoother line lay on the spool during retrieval. X-Protect technology and water-channeling construction enhance Vanford’s water resistance and overall durability — an important feature for a reel sure to be found in inshore environments. From ice fishing and drop-shot fishing for smallies in the sweetwater to stalking tailing fish in the flats, the Vanford has no equal. A legend is born. Note: The Vanford 500 (VF500F) does not include the following features: MGL Rotor, MicroModule Gear II, X-Protect Body or Long Stroke Spool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimano Fishing","offers":[{"title":"VF4000XGF","offer_id":60719669281138,"sku":"SHI23949","price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/2962\/0819\/files\/SHIMANOREELVANFORD.png?v=1758675573","url":"https:\/\/pop-hawaii.com\/products\/shimano-vanguard-reel","provider":"POP Fishing \u0026 Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
