Shimano Vanquish FC Reel

Shimano Vanquish FC Reel

The Vanquish is the pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. It is built with the highest Japanese precision and is designed for those who demand the most from themselves and their equipment.

The responsiveness and smoothness of the reel make it perfect for fishing ultra-light techniques such as perch, trout and pike-perch. However, the Vanquish can be used for many different techniques and species, including saltwater spinning with the larger 4000 and 5000 sizes. The Vanquish will guide you to bring out the best in every adventure. The first thing you will experience is the weight of the reel, or rather the lack of it. The mid-size 3000 weighs only 170g, which is remarkable and you will notice it.

The Vanquish sets new quality standards in UL fishing. Shimano went "beyond lightweight" to create the ultimate lightweight winding mechanism with unmatched features. It is the pinnacle of ultralight reels and is packed with Shimano technologies, derived primarily from the STELLA.

The Vanquish's lightness comes from the extensive use of Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is further enhanced by the incorporation of the Magnumlite rotor, which also contributes to the incredibly low starting inertia when winding. This slow starting inertia is especially important when fishing finesse and UL techniques. You'll be able to fish these techniques with more precision than ever before. Shimano has eliminated backlash in all components, which further enhances the reel's meticulous precision.

Another great advantage is the addition of InfinityDrive. This technology produces powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, it can maintain a constant and consistent cranking pressure, which is very helpful when you hook that big fish.

The addition of InfinityLoop greatly improves casting distance. This will help you reach that interesting spot far away, even with a super light setup. Other advanced technologies, such as InfinityXross, X-Protect and the Anti-Twist Fin, contribute to the remarkable technical performance of this reel.

If you don't want to make any compromises in quality and performance in your ultralight fishing gear, this is the reel for you.
