Shimano Reel Vanquish FC C2500S

The Vanquish is the pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. It is made with the greatest Japanese precision and is designed for those who demand the maximum from themselves and their equipment. The reel's responsiveness and smoothness make it perfect for ultra-light fishing for bass, trout and zander. However, the Vanquish can be used for many different techniques and species, including inshore saltwater spinning in the larger sizes 4000 and 5000. The Vanquish accompanies you to get the best out of yourself on every adventure. The first thing you will experience is the weight of the reel, or rather the lack of it. The medium-sized 3000 weighs just 170 grams – that's remarkable and you can tell. The Vanquish sets new quality standards in the UL fishing domain. Shimano went 'Beyond Lightness' to create an ultimate lightweight winding mechanism with unparalleled features. It is the pinnacle of ultra-light reels and packed with Shimano technologies primarily derived from STELLA.

The lightness of the Vanquish comes from extensive use of Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is enhanced by the addition of the Magnumlite Rotor, which also contributes to the incredibly low start-up inertia when winding up. This slow start up lag is especially important when fishing finesse and UL techniques. You will be able to fish these techniques more precisely than ever before. Shimano has erased play in every component, further enhancing the reel's meticulous precision.

Another big advantage is the addition of InfinityDrive. This technology produces powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy load. In extreme situations, you can still maintain a steady, consistent starting pressure, which is really helpful when hooking up that big one. Adding InfinityLoop greatly improves casting distance. This will help you reach that point of interest far away, even with a super light set up. Other advanced technologies such as InfinityXross, X-Protect and the Anti-Twist Fin further contribute to the remarkable technical performance of this reel.

If you don't want to compromise on quality and performance in your ultra-light tackle, this is the reel for you.
