Vanford – Control at Your Fingertips

Vanford, the flagship product in the Magnumlite series, is designed to optimise lightness and responsiveness when reeling. It is an ideal choice for technical and finesse fishing styles, ranging from local trout fishing to bass fishing, eging, seabass fishing and shore jigging. The new Vanford model builds on the flexibility and responsiveness of the previous range, combining advanced technologies such as ‘Infinity Cross’ and ‘Infinity Drive’ to deliver superior power and durability.
Thanks to the use of “Duracross” material, the durability of the drag system has increased tenfold according to Shimano’s standards. The new “Anti-Twist Fin” technology helps minimise line tangles, enhancing the user experience. In particular, the new “C2500SXG” model is the perfect addition, enriching the product range to a total of 13 models to meet the needs of all anglers.
Continuous Evolution Through New Technology
Vanford embodies a commitment to continuous evolution, aiming to strike a balance between functionality and lightness. Every detail of Vanford is designed to be a reliable companion, from dawn to dusk, in every fishing adventure. All this is reflected in the perfect combination of lightness, control and a powerful casting feel. 
The new Vanford continues to utilise the ‘Magnumlite Rotor’, which improves responsiveness during casting and minimises inertia. Compared to the “Stradic 23” model, the new Vanford is 39% lighter, offering a clear advantage in fishing situations that demand high precision and agility.
Advanced Technology Expands Capabilities
The Vanford is equipped with the very latest technologies such as “HAGANE Gear”, “X-Protect”, “Micro Module Gear II”, and new innovations including “Infinity Cross”, “Infinity Drive”, “Anti-Twist Fin” and “Duracross”. This not only enhances lightness, responsiveness and feel, but also boosts durability and strength, making the Vanford the top choice for anglers seeking precision and high performance.
### Superior Durability and Performance
Thanks to advanced design and manufacturing technology, the contact area between the drive gear and the pinion has been expanded, helping to distribute the load more evenly, minimise damage and double the durability compared to traditional designs. The main shaft support system, made from a specialised material, reduces friction and improves rotational performance even under heavy loads.
The Difference Between Vanford and Stradic
Vanford belongs to the ‘Magnumlite’ range, characterised by its light weight and excellent responsiveness, making it suitable for technically demanding fishing styles. Meanwhile, the ‘Stradic’ belongs to the ‘Core Solid’ range, offering high rigidity and excellent durability, making it suitable for all types of fishing. Using each product range for its intended purpose will deliver the best results for the angler.
