SHIMANO VANQUISH FA COMPETITION EDITION
The Vanquish FA Competition Edition is the ultimate finesse weapon for competition and technical spinning šÆš£
The lightest to feel, the fastest to react, and maximally precise ā designed for situations where every cast and every touch makes the difference.
Manufactured in Japan to the highest standards by Shimano, this model takes the MAGNUMLITE concept to a new level. The magnesium body and Ci4+ rotor ensure ultra-low inertia, allowing you to feel even the slightest touch. The INFINITYLOOP system guarantees perfectly slow line lay, which directly translates to longer and smoother casts with micro lures.
This is the reel for perch, trout, and zander, when you need to work with thin PE 0.6ā1.0 and have full control over lure presentation.
